The Flag and Its Message

Against their held OF midnight blue
The glittering stars of heaven seem
dimmed,
For meath them floats rival host
Of purest white, in blue fields rim
med.
And when broad stripes of glowing
Proclaim the day again begun,
And soft clouds reach across the sky
In ordered bands that whitley run,
The lifted curtain of the night
Reveals a message to the world
White stars on blue, red stripes and
white,
"Old Glory" to the winds unfurled.
The western breeze will carry on
The message through the lambert
air:
Were coming. France. million
Our flag will guide US over there'!"
