BONG OF TIE FLOWER ANGELS.
BY MRS. HALE

We tend the flowers of every hue,
But love the red, and white, and blue
Red, and white, and blue;
The red is Loves sweet blushing hue,
And white is fair as Faith to view,
And Truth is inaged in the blue
Red, and white, and blue;
Where Faith is free and Love Is true,
We SOW the red, and wh,e, and blue.
Tn Eastern Lands the seed we cast,
But thorns would choke, or mildew blast
Red, and white, and blue;
Sweet Love was lost in PASSIONS fires,
From idol worship Faith retires,
And Truth by despot's frown expires
Red, aud white, and blue,
All faded, pershed where they grew,
The flowers of red, and white, and blue.
Then to this Western World we came,
And sowed the flowers Of holy name,
Red, and white, and blue;
Love and Faith and Truth were sown,
And oh! how strong the plants have grown,
And through the world the flowers are known
Red, and white, and blue
For Freedom, eagle-pinioned, flew
To bear the red, and white, and blue.
Now in Banner fair TO see,
The hues are twined in trinity
Red, and white, and blue;
The red and white as leaves Of light;
And stars as seeds the blue bednight,
And DER the world this Banner bright,
Red, and white, and blue
Shall have a guard of Angels trne.
Who love red, and white, and blue.
