Full many taunt We meekly bore, and
many an idle brag;
But when, on Sumptcr's battlementS, the
traitors did it mar,
We flung abroad that Union Flag, that
ne'er shall lose star.
Hurrah iIurrah for the Un-
ion Flag, Hurrah
Hurrah for the Union Flag, that
ne er shall lose star
And first the gallant Keystone State, from
every mountain glen,
From hill and valley, lake and town, sent
down her stalwart men;
And all New England rose amain, as blew
the trump of war;
And raised on high their Fathers Flag,
that knows no single star.
Hurrah Hurrah for the Un-
ion Flag, Hurrah.
Hurrah for the Union Flag, that
ne'er shall lose star.

From Saratoga's crowned heights,
from Monmouth's bloody plain,
The men of York, and Jersey too, both
swelled the mastering train,
As onward-onward-f it rushed,
DER all opposing bars,
To punish those who dared insult our
glorious stripes and stars.
Hurrah Hurrah! for the Un-
ion Flag, Hurrah.
Uurrah for the Union Flag,
with all its stripe and stars
And next the hardy pioneers, the daunt-
less and the brave,
From those domains by Freedom won,
that never knew slave,
Their trusty rifles all in hand, with eye
and port like Mars,
Grasped once again with iron hand the
staff that bears our stars
Hurrah Hurrah. for the In
ion Flag, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars
And from the bison's prairie haunts, DER
Mississippi's food,
From Minnehaha's sparkling Falls, DER
Kansas land of blood,
New England's youngest scions there,
have heard the din of wars,
And grasped their Fathers ancient brand,
and reared their stripes and stars
Hurrah. Hurr.ih for the I'm
ion Flag. Hurrah.
Hurrah for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars F.
And farther still, where sunset seas,
bathc CALIFORNIA; shore,
And grim Sierras darkly frown its golden
treasures Ger,
Our Western Twins have heard the call,
and answered from afar,
"We come We come rear high the Flag
that knows no single star"
Uurrah Hurrah. for the Un-
ion Flag, Hurrah
Uurrah. for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars
Missouri too, her garments red, and little
Delaware,
With hcert as big as when Of old she bore
lions share,
Have burst the chain, which cramps the
soul, and all that's noble mars,
And wheeled in line, come veal or woe,
beneath the stripes and stars.
Hurrah. Hurrah for the I'm
ion Flag, Hurrah
Hurrah for the Union Flag, that
bears our stripes and stars
And "Maryland, our Maryland" though
called with 'fife and drum"
And sold line bugle' too, to fight against
the "Northern scum"
Has thought of Camdcn's bloody field, and
Eutaw's iron scars,
And 10. she stands, where erst she stood,
beneath the stripes and stars.
Hurrah. Hurrah for the In
ion Flag, Hurrah.
Hurrah for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars.

Would We could say the same Of thee,
thou dark and bloody ground.
Whose sexlcss sages, false of heart, a way
of speace" have found
Shame on yon No half faith have we !.
Up, gird yc for the wars,
And take your place, as men, once more,
beneath the stripes and stars.
IIurrah Hurrah for the I'm
ion Flag, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars.
From thy Medusa glance we turn, with
hearts of cheer and pride,
To West Virginia, virgin rib, torn from
false mothers side.
Daughter of strife Fair Freedoms child !.
Thy mountains ring afar,
With echoing shouts, for that blest Flag,
that counts another star.
Hurrah Hurrah for the I'm
ion Flag, Hurrah!
Uurrah for the Union Flag that
bears our stripes and stars.

And more twill count, no Pleiad lost, o.
all that shining host,
Though dim eclipse have veiled their fires,
