Do you gaze on its folds with the rover

That a brave man has for sacred
thing?
Or is 1t to you but the outward sign
OF peoples pride and nations
might.
OF power wherever Its stars may shine
And Its shimmering stripes flow red and

What is the meaning 1t has for you
AS Its bright folds ripple above your

With Its clustering stars on their field of

Is 1t merely challenge to foreign slaves,
A thing to be followed when armies fight,
And never wherever it proudly waves
To cease to float splendidly, wrong or
right?
I see in It's beautiful stripes of red,
AS 1t proudly waves and serenely floats,
The blood that its grave defenders have
shed,
And its stars are calling in clarion
notes
Calling to me as they are to you,
To keep the faith and to seek the
height.
And to serve the flag with love as true
And heart as clean as its stripes are
white.
