  7. My boy must never bring disgrace to his immortal sires— At Valley Forge and Lexington they kindled freedom’s fires, John’s father died at Gettysburg, mine fell at Chancellorsville; While John himself was with the boys who charged up San Juan Hill. And John, if he was living now, would surely say with me, "No son of ours shall e’er disgrace our grand old family tree By turning out a slacker when his country needs his aid." It is not of such timber that America was made. I’d rather you had died at birth or not been born at all, Than know that I had raised a son who cannot hear the call That freedom has sent round the world, its previous rights to save— This call is meant for you, my boy, and I would have you brave; And though my heart is breaking, boy, I bid you do your part, And show the world no son of mine is cursed with craven heart; And if, perchance, you ne’er return, my later days to cheer, And I have only memories of my brave boy, so dear, I’d rather have it so, my boy, and know you bravely died Than have a living coward sit supinely by my side. To save the world from sin, my boy, God gave his only son— He’s asking for My boy, to-day, and may His will be done. It’s Duty Boy
