    I personally believe its about how he is going to war and is praying he comes back home to his mother. This is the poem - Mother, shed no mournful tears,

    But gird me on my sword;

    And give no utterance to thy fears,

    But bless me with thy word.

    The lines are drawn! The fight is on!

    A cause is to be won!

    Mother, look not so white and wan;

    Give Godspeed to thy son.

    Now let thine eyes my way pursue

    Where'er my footsteps fare;

    And when they lead beyond thy view,

    Send after me a prayer.

    But pray not to defend from harm,

    Nor danger to dispel;

    Pray, rather, that with steadfast arm

    I fight the battle well.

    Pray, mother of mine, that I always keep

    My heart and purpose strong,

    My sword unsullied and ready to leap

    Unsheathed against the wrong.
