Tonight there will be American boys in
lonely listening posts far out in the desolation
of No Man’s Land, American boys in the
darkness and the mud and cold of the trenches
tinder the ceaseless thunder of guns and the
scream of shells, American boys tramping
along the pitch-black, shell-torn roads.

wait and watch in the dark, while dangers
lurk on every hand, their thoughts turn
to the homes they have left behind, homes
on distant farms, in scattered villages, in great
cities, and they see in-imagination the plea
sant home lights shining out into the .night.
