Rh Now Heaven is by the young invaded;

Their laughter's in the House of God.

Stainless and simple as He made it

God keeps the heart o' the boy unflawed.

The old wise Saints look on and smile,

They are so young and without guile.

Oh, if the sonless mothers weeping,

And widowed girls could look inside

The glory that hath them in keeping

Who went to the Great War and died,

They would rise and put their mourning off,

And say: "Thank God, he has enough!"
