Dear Mary
Dear Mary
Now a girl is washed away
Soft water
As the other children play
Much later
Where the youngest walks today
Dear Mary
Kiss the soldier, say goodbye
Thick water
Holds him closer, glorifies
New fathers
Other children, by and by
Come mercy, sing requiem
Light shines on them still
In quiet remember them
Dear Mary
Is your boy below the wave?
By numbers
Counting higher, with the brave
Deep water
Living under, smiling grave
Now a girl is washed away
Soft water
As the other children play
Much later
Where the youngest walks today
Dear Mary
Kiss the soldier, say goodbye
Thick water
Holds him closer, glorifies
New fathers
Other children, by and by
Come mercy, sing requiem
Light shines on them still
In quiet remember them
Dear Mary
Is your boy below the wave?
By numbers
Counting higher, with the brave
Deep water
Living under, smiling grave
