THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfured her standard to the air.
She tore the azure robe or nlgnt,
And set the stars of glory there!
She mingled with It's gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric OF the skies,
And striped It's pure celestial wnite
With streakngs of the morning light.
Then, from his mansion in the sum-
She called her eagle bearer down.
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol OF her chosen land'
Majestic monarch of the cloud.
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven.
When strive the warriors Of the storm.
And rolls the thunder-drum or heaven.
Child OF the sun. TO thee It's given
To guard the banner of the free.
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar.
Like rainbows on the cloud OF war,
The harbingers OF victory!
Flag Of the brave! thy folds shall ny,
The sign OF hope and triumph high.
when speaks the sisnal-trunipet zone
And the long line comes cleaning on.
Ere yet the lifeblood warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glisiening bayonet:
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born Slories burn,
And as his springing steps advance.
Catch war and vengeance from the siance
And when the cannon mouthings loud
Heave In wild wreaths the battle shroud.
And gory sabreS rise and fal =,
Like shoots OF fame on midnghts paA
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
The covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger OF death.
Flag Of the seas, on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter Ger the brave:
When death careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the oellied SAL.
And frightcd waves rush wildly pack
before Inc broadsidc's Keeling rack.
Each dying wanderer OF the sea
Shall look at once 10 heaven and thee.
And smile to see thy splendors ny
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag OF the free hearts hope and home!
BY angel hands to valor given.
Thy stars have III the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born In heaven!
Forever float that standard sheet
were breathes the foe but falls oetore us'
WITH Freedoms soil beneath our feet.
And Freedoms banner streaming Ger US!
