The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1902-07-05

And the stripes are true and bright,
And over the country they sweep afar.
Shining by day and by night
A single bell tolled in the long ago.
To rally the brave little band.
Where chimes now peal In the stiffening
breeze.
And shouts ring Joyously over the seas.
And flags wave over the land.
