UNFURL OUR STANDARD HIGH. Unfurl our standard high! Its glorious folds shall wave Where'er the land looks to the sky, Or ocean's surges lave! And when, beneath its shade, the brave, Combat for glory or the grave, It shall their hearts inspire Unfurl the stripes and stars! They evermore shall be Victorious on the field of Mars And when th' o'erruling fates decree Thou, sacred banner of the free, Shall daunt the bravest foe; And never shall thy stars decline Till circling suns have ceased to shine. - Owen Grenliffe Warren. |
