THE FLAG GOES BY.

Hats off!
Along the street there comes

A flash of color beneath the sky.
Hats off! The Flag is passing by!

Over the steel-tipped ordered lines.
Hats off! "The colors" before us

But more than the Flag is passing

Weary marches and sinking ships,
Cheers of victory on dying lips:

Stately honor and reverend awe.
Signs of a nation great and strong
To guard her people from foreign

Pride and glory and honor-an

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A b1are of bugles, a ruff1e of drums
And loyal hearts are beating high.
Hats off!
The Flag is passing by!
