What means that banner floating there
With bars Of red and white 50 fair?
Those brilliant stars the States declare
Whose equal is not found elsewhere!

Brave men who're made in freedoms

They're held by bonds-not CALLING

Nor selfish greed that leaves a stain;
But mutual good, commonwealth
OF brain and Drawn and moral health.

where'er it floats DER land and sea.
There's red, red blood. so true and pure.
Twas shed for Right which shall en-
dure:

Thank God! A sacrifice not vain.
It still flows on, twill never tine,
A hallowed stream, by freedoms shrine.

Justice and Right its rule shall be.
Flag OF the free! Flag Of the brave!
Hearts beat in tune its life to save.
Brains, never tire. thus make 1t strong:
