Red! tits the hue of battle,
The pledge of victory;
In sunset light, in northern night,
1t flashes brave and free.
Then paint with red thy banner,
Quoth Freedom to the Land,
And when thy sons go forth to war,
This sign be in their hand.
White, tits the sign of purity.
Of everlasting truth;
The snowy robe of childhood.
The stainless mail of youth.
Then paint with white thy banner.
And pure as northern snow,
May these thy stately children
In truth and honor go.
Blue! it's the tint Of heaven.
The mornings gOld-shot arch.
The burning deeps of noontide,
The stars unending march.
Then paint with blue thy banner
And bid thy children raise
At daybreak. noon and eNentide
Their hymns of love and praise.
Valor and truth and righteousness.
