Our Flag

Improvement Era, vol. 21, no. 6, April 1918, p. 538

D. B. O'Brien

Our Flag

(Selected)

The Red, the White, the Blue,

Our flag, Red, White, and Blue,

To thee, fair Flag, we are, and always will be true.

Through all our days

To thee

The loyalty that's due

We'll pay eternally,

Our flag, Red, White, and Blue,

Our treasured banner fair, the Red, the White, the Blue.

In all the changing years,

Befraught with hopes and fears,

No stain upon thy glorious field appears;

Ah! dear Red, White, and Blue,

Our loved Red, White, and Blue,

To thee, fair flag, we are and always will be true.

Time only brought

To thee

A fame that fairer grew

With each new century.

Old flag, Red, White, and Blue,

The flag of freedom's cause, the Red, the White, the Blue.

D. R. O'Brien.
