Off To War

Brother and Father gone Over fields they roam As they disappear through dawn Someday they will come home Even though they are cold They will keep on going "Be brave," they were told As we keep on sewing. We were by the fireside When they were off to war All of us cried When they went through the door Brother and Father gone Back over the fields they roam As they appear through dawn Today they will come home
