OUR FLAG.

VIZ
BY BERT JosSgLrN.
Cp with our Atg! The rising breeze
Us beauties snail unfold,
And. warmed with virgin charms like these
Who shall regret the old?
Pare as q naiden's blushiog cheek,
Blight as hcr sparkling eye,
White, red and blue together speak
A noble destiny.
Up with our Hagl The Southern heart
Bats wildly at the sight
And millions from thei. slumber start
TO mingie in the fsht
Lcng shall tue Mortimer rue tae day,
Their hirelinss sailed forth,
To tpcet, il battles dread array,
TIE rreemon Of the South.
Up with our Gag! AS one by n
It's gathering stars shine out,
Res, ichdent in the mid days sun,
Hank 10 the answering shout!
An armed M;nerea starts 10 life,
4 new Republic springs
A;Gft, from lratricidal strife,
o. vic.o.y's buoyant wings
[: wi,h Our flag! The inpious hand
That dares to pluck it down,
Shall perish, as by Gods command,
Death stricken ~ his frown.
Around it shall the faithful cling
With ready arm and eye,
IT, guard il, as u sacred thing
~ lire for or 10 die.
Up with our h,gl The coming years
Snai: bring no blot or stain,
Nc infants wall. no mothers tears
Shall ivil ~ in its train.
Emblem Of honor, justice, law,
truth, love end purity,
God bless our alg! The world ne'er saw
Is peer on land or sea.
