FLAG DAY.

Flag day is in honor of the sailors
and soldiers who fought for it. Think
of the ones who went out on the
waves for it. not knowing whether
they would ever get back to land.
Think of the nes who left their
homes to fi5.lit for it.
The coor- of red, white and blue
wave Ov"r America.
Child look up at the flag with
shouts and cheers.
Betsy Ross made the first American
flag in the year 1776. When it was
made it had thirteen stars and thir-
teen stripes.
Many carry flags to the graves of
the dead soldiers and sailors.

Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear Of little nent
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And white OWLS feather!
Down along the rocky shore
Some make their home;
They live on crispy pancakes
Of yellow tide foam;
Some in the reeds
OF the black mountain lake,
With frogs for their watchdogs,
All night awake.
High on the hilltop
The old king sits;
He is now so old and gray,
He's nigh lost his wits.
With bridge of white mist
Columbkill he crosses,
On his stately journeys
From Slieveleague to ROSES;
Or going up with music
On cold starry nights,
To sup with the queen
OF the gay Northern Lights.
They stole little Bridget
For seven years long;
When she came down again,
Her friends were all gone.
They took her lightly back,
Between the night and morrow
They thought that she was fas
asleep,
But she was dead with sorrow.
They have kept her ever since
Deep within the lakes,
On a bed Of flag leaves,
Watching till she wakes.
BY the craggy hillside,
Through the MOSES bare,
They have planted thorn trees
For pleasure here and there.
Is any man so daring
AS dig them up in spite?
He shall find their sharpest thorn
In his bed at night.
Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green Jacket, red cap, G
And white owls feather!
