Tyranny’s wrongs must cease,
Brutes must no longer brag,
This is our work on earth,
So we will follow the flag.

We’ve Had a Letter from the Boy

We’ve had a letter from the boy,
And, oh, the gladness and the joy
It brought to us! We read it o’er
I’d say a dozen times or more.
We laughed until the teardrops fell
At all the fun he had to tell.
He’s in the navy, wearing blue,
And everything is all so new
That he can see in youthful style
The funny things to make us smile.
