I Shall Keep Faith

Though Christmas may not be within my heart,
I shall keep faith with my brave son who died
A martyr on that far Korean shore
Where terror's horsemen ride.

Then hang the holly and the mistletoe
And light the Yuletide candles; trim the tree--
Dear God, pin back death's curtain with a star
That he may see.
