THE BANNER BETsEY MADE

We have nicknmned it "Old Glory"
AS it floats upon the breeze,
Rich in legend, song and story
On the land and on the seas;
.'ar above the shining river,
Over mountain, gorge and glade,
With fame that lives forever,
Floats the banner Betsey made.
How they cheered it and its maker
They the gallant sons of Marsl
How they blessed the little Quaker
And her flag of stripes and stars!
Meath its folds, the foemen scorning
Glinted bayonet and blade,
And the breezes of the morning
Kissed the flag that Betsey made.
Now she sleeps, whose fingers flying,
With heart to Freedom true,
Mingled colors bright, undying-
Fashioned stars on field of blue;
t will lack for no defender
When the foreign foes invade,
for our nation rose to splendor
Meath the banner Betsey made.
