Cody, H. A. (Hiram Alfred), 1872-1948

"Rod of the Lone Patrol"


REFRAIN:
"You're my only little laddie,
Golden hair, and eyes of blue;
God, who made the birds and flowers,
Chose the best when He made you.
"Streams may ripple, birds may carol,
Twinkling-stars may dance and shine,
But life's sweetest joy and rapture
Is to know that you are mine.
REFRAIN:
"You're my only little laddie, etc.
"Parted, though, by time and distance,
Hearts can never sundered be.
Love Divine, oh, still unite us,
Strong to each, and strong in Thee.
REFRAIN:
"You're my only little laddie,
Golden hair, and eyes of blue;
God, who made the birds and flowers,
Chose the best when He made you."

Rod paid little heed to the storm of applause which greeted this song,
and when it was repeated he did not follow the words as closely as
before. He was thinking about that boy, and wondering where he was.
He was sure that the woman was almost crying when she got through.
What made her feel so badly? Was her boy away from her somewhere, and
if she wanted him so much, why didn't she go to see him?
At last the curtain dropped, and the concert was over. As the people
began to go out, Rod overheard what those nearest to him were saying.
