SELECTED POETRY.
Under the Flag.

with courage and will undaunted,
To all the world we say,
Wherever our flag is planted,
There It must ever stay;
The soil won by brave endeavor,
BY death, blood. grief and pain,
Must be ours, and must forever.
Under our flag remain.
The soil where our brave are sleeping,
Be II remote or near,
Is sacred soil, and its keeping,
Duty we need not fear;
No alien flag must cover
Bones of our fallen braves;
Old Glory alone shall hover
Over their silent graves.
Not for lust Of power or booty.
Our vengeful swords we drew,
The path of our bounden duty
Lay clear as heavens blue;
Twas to stay the tyrant's shifting,
TIL oppressor's rule destroy,
To give to others the right in
The freedom we enjoy.
Shall we hold aloof, or falter,
At Liberty's appeal7
Quench the FIRE on freedoms altar
Where smitten people kneel7
Shall the isles in our possession,
Unblest, revert again
To the baseness and oppression
And cruelty of Spain9
mol by the blood that unstinted
Ran In unnumbered rills,
And moistened the soil and tinted
The grass of Cubas hills;
That wet Porto Rico valleys,
And hillsides of Leon,
And spilled in the midnight saIlies
In far away Luzon.
By our murdered seamen, lying
In foul Havana Bay;
BY our fever stricken, dying,
BY those who've passed away;
We swear that the islands fated
As victims of our might
Shall be saved and censecrated
To liberty and right.
To the races so benighted2
Our flag shall carry peace;
All the past wrongs shall be righted,
And all oppression cease;
We shall see meath its upraising
Der conquered isles of Spain,
The fires of freedom blazing,
And law and order reign.
