As the Civil War dragged on, patriotic songs such as this became very popular. This song sheet was published in 1863 by Sawyer & Thompson of New York. Words and music by Charles Carroll Sawyer. Ornate design frames wording on cover. Back cover contains advertisements for song sheets by Sawyer & Thompson.

First verse of song reads, “Wounded and sorrowful, far from my home, Sick among strangers, uncared for, unknown, Even the birds that used sweetly to sing are silent, and swiftly have taken the wing. No one but mother can cheer me today, No one for me could so fervently pray, None to console me, no kind friend is near- Mother would comfort me if she were here. Gently her hand o’er my forehead she’d press, Trying to free me from pain and distress, Kindly she’d say to me, ‘Be of good cheer, Mother will comfort you, Mother is here!” Three verses total.

Measures 10” x 13”. Six pages. Yellowing has occurred, with areas of spotting. Pages have become separated from stitching. Shows chipping at left margin.  [sl] [ph:L]
