Show Just Folks By Edgar A. A Guest DO TillS THIS Still laugh said he when Im I'm away And gather all the flowers of May Still keep my room the pictures all That I have loved upon the wall For I shall want them every everyone one The moment that the war is won Still play the records dance and sing An And spread no fears by sorrow sorrow- ing Be happy every time you can For victory work and pray and plan For I shall want you looking well When we have fired the final shell Still bake the pies as it might be That I were coming home for tea Still plant the garden roundabout roundabout roundabout round round- about Still grub the sturdy thistles out And stake the blue delphinium As if this war had never come For if the struggle shall be belong belong belong long At home there must be mirth and song Since these are what we fight to keep So hide away when you must weep And be as brave at home as we Who fight in sky on land and sea Copyright 1942 Edgar A.
