It's ripping folds are as pure as the
That shine down the white milky

While the crimson and white OF its
simmerihg bars,
Flaunt their colors by night and
by day.
And its stars ever Rleam, like the
stars up above,
While its folds ever seem to be
whispering OF love.
When the iron hoof OF war had raw
aged the earth
And the ashes OF ruin turned to
gray;
When the hope Of Gods people again
had its birth
In the dawn Of wonderful day
Then. this glorious flag spread Its
folds to the stars,
And the soft southern winds kissed
its stars and its Bars.
May it spread It's rich robes to the
blue southern skies,
TIL the twilight OF life tints the
west,
And It's thrill ever fiji us with
laughter and s!ghs
Bringing Joy. evermore, to each
breast
MAY IL ripple its folds to the winds
