How beautiful IL blows
Over the roofs 50 high,
With stripes like the heart OF the ros Q
And stars as white as the SHOWS,
On background of freedoms slSyl
Flag that the children love,
Flag that their hands have wrought
And spread to the sun above,
And blest in their childish thought
Every fash of its bars,
Every CLEAN of its stars,
Kindles the patriot love afresh-
All the lives for il lost,
Every tear that IL cost,
Woven into its silxen mesh.
Spread it, o hand Of youth
Symbol Of loftiest truth,
Splendur OF conquering might
Spread il from Earnings heightl
So shall il be unfurled
Over the wi lest world,
And walIen beyond the sea
Republics that are 10 be.
