Stephen Collins Foster wrote the song "Willie Has Gone To War" sometime in 1862. It was considered a 'Civil War Song', though it was not as popular as some of his previous work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Experience - Stephen Foster - People & Events )〕 George Cooper wrote the lyrics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Willie has gone to the war. Words by George Cooper, music by Stephen C. Foster )〕 He may have composed up to 285 songs, hymns, arrangements and instrumental works during his lifetime. He also created many of the lyrics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction )〕 ==Lyrics== The bluebird is singing his lay, To all the sweet flow’rs of the dale, The wild bee is reaming at play, And soft is the sigh of the gale; I stray by the brookside alone, Where oft we have wander’d before, And weep for my lov’d one, my own, My Willie has gone to the war! Chorus: ''Willie has gone to the war,'' ''Willie, Willie my lov’d one my own;'' ''Willie has gone to the war,'' ''Willie, Willie my lov’d one is gone''! ’Twas here, where the lily bells grow, I last saw his noble young face, And now while he’s gone to the foe, Oh! dearly I love the old place; The whispering waters repeat The name that I love o’er and o’er, And daisies that nod at my feet, Say Willie has gone to the war! Chorus: The leaves of the forest will fade, The roses will wither and die, But spring to our home in the glade On fairy like pinions will fly; And still I will hopefully wait The day when these battles are o’er, And pine like a bird for its mate, Till Willie comes home from the war!
