Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“By And Bye” The Maiden Sighed—"By And Bye
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 Bye—By And Bye.”
“By And Bye,” The Soldier Said—“By And Bye,
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 Bye—By And Bye.”
 
“By And Bye,” The Mother Cried—“By And Bye.
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 Bye—By And Bye.”
 
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 Bye”—By And Bye?
