The American Flag.

All hail the Haunting Lie,
The stars grow pale and dim:
The stripes are bloody scars
A Lie the Wanting hymn.
1t shields a pirates deck,
1t binds a man in chains,
1t vokes tie captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the Haunting Lie.

Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag!
Destroy it ye who can!
Deep sink it in the waves
1t bears a fellow-man
To groan with fellow-slaves F.
Furl, furl the boosted Lie
Till freedom lives again,
To read once more in truth,
Among nntrammeled men.
Roll up the starry sheen,
Concea al its bloody stains,
For in its folds are seen
The stamp Of rustling chains.

One of these terrible missiles struck one
