TO THE SONGSTERS By Berton Braley ; - " (With Apologiw to ths VitfiUntes.) When the hi-art of the world M torn with atrife And a shadow falls on the. fields of life. Whpu frrild war stalks where the flower were And the (fr-ax, onre j:reen, ia a crimson blur, When hope seeina futile and hate in atroup O then is the Jime for the lilt of song. ' For only by -iioiijr can we forget The pain and sorrow tht inimt he met, And only by song sliall vision rise To see through clouds to the sunuy skies, When hearts are heavy and days are long O then is the time for the lilt of song. , ' Ring on, O singers, and have uo fear ! xx You bring us courage and faith and cheer, j " , You thrill the soldier with strength and fight, j You banish gloom and you bring the light, Ro carol your notes to the weary throng.
