THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
(By E. M. Wing,)

(By E. NJ. Wing.) Oh, gallant flag with colors bright, With banner waving high; My heart beats fast with proud de-
 light, When see your colors three. Dear waving flag, red, blue and white, We ever cherish thee; Long may you wave OCT land and
 sea, Protected by the free. The red for brave who fought and
 died, For our flag, so dear, so true; Those who fought for their country's
 pride, Of the red, white and blue. Blue stands for truth, glorious sigh No other flag is so grand; Purity for the stripes of white, Keep it waving OCT our land hTe starry banner of the free, The brave have fought for it; The flag that's loved by you and mo Traitors have sought for it. And while war is lowering o'er, We'll keep the banner free; We'll fight as heroes fought before, For the flag of colors three. We'll hail the flag of freedom, For which our soldiers fight; It's the emblem of our nation, And all that's good and right. Just remember it's great meaning, And stand forever true To the beautiful stars and stripes, Of our red, white and blue. From across the sea the flag came, With colors bright and new, Unharmed we welcome it home again, Dear old red, white and blue. Our nations peace is at an end, The strife of war begun; The call to help save liberty Is made to everyone. And while this strife is upon us, Our country's beauty mar; We must fight like old patriots, To save our flag at war. l saw far out upon the sea, Those stripes our emblem true; Came glory sailing home to me, Three colors, red, white and blue.
