HOIST THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Hoist the Stars and Stripes!
March as ye unfold!
A prouder banner ne'er could flout,
Were it made of gold.
Hoist the Stars and Stripes!
Let it take the wind:
Slumbering in their musty folds
Colors grow bedimm'd.
Hoist the Stars and Stripes!
Does there live the man,
Who born beneath the silver shade,
Would not lead its van?
Hoist the Stars and Stripes!
Make the tyrant kneel!
Kneeling make him own the shame,
His burning soul must feel.
Hoist the Stars and Stripes!
Powers from above
Sanction it, meet emblem of
Life, Liberty and Love.
