The Stars and Stripes! What hand shall dare
To desecrate the flag we bear f
The flag of Stars whoso cheering light,
Made bright, oppression’s gloomy night!
The flag of Stripes, whose heavenly dyes
Flash’d freedom’s day spring through the akiew
Our flag! the standard of the free!
Symbol of hojre and liberty. Janvier. l*5i i #
