By-And-By, The Maiden Sighed - "By-And-By He Will Claim Me For His Bride, Hope Is Strong And Time Is Fleet; Youth Is Fair, And Love Is Sweet, Clouds Will Pass That Fleck My Sky. He Will Come Back By-And-By - By-And-By." "By-And-By," The Soldier Said - "By-And-By, After I Have Fought And Bled, I Shall Go Home From The Wars, Crowned With Glory, Seamed With Scars. Joy Will Flash From Some One'S Eye When She Greets Me By-And-By - By-And-By." "By-And-By," The Mother Cried - "By-And-By, Strong And Sturdy At My Side, Like A Staff Supporting Me, Will My Bonnie Baby Be. Break My Rest, Then, Wail And Cry - Thou'Lt Repay Me By-And-By - By-And-By." Fleeting Years Of Time Have Sped - Hurried By - Still The Maiden Is Unwed; All Unknown The Soldier Lies, Buried Under Alien Skies; And The Son, With Blood-Shot Eye Saw His Mother Starve And Die. God In Heaven! Dost Thou On High, Keep The Promised By-And-By - By-And-By?
