Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGHIBIBJKJK LMLMANANFOFO| To us the Flag has little meant | A |
| Each glorious stripe of red | B |
| Was woven there to represent | A |
| The blood of heroes dead | B |
| On some dim distant battle line | C |
| By other men were gained | D |
| The glories that have made it fine | C |
| And idle we've remained | D |
| But now the Flag shall finer grow | E |
| And ages yet to be | F |
| Shall find the courage that we show | E |
| To day for liberty | F |
| - | |
| Of other men the Flag has told | G |
| It flies for others' deeds | H |
| Its pride is born of heroes bold | G |
| Who served its by gone needs | H |
| But now our blood shall mingle there | I |
| With blood of patriots dead | B |
| And through the years each stripe shall wear | I |
| A deeper truer red | B |
| The splendor of the flag shall gleam | J |
| In every radiant star | K |
| And finer shall the banner seem | J |
| Because of what we are | K |
| - | |
| To day new glory for the Flag | L |
| We give our best to build | M |
| Of us shall future ages brag | L |
| By us their blood be thrilled | M |
| And as to us the flag has meant | A |
| The greatness of the past | N |
| The Stars and Stripes shall represent | A |
| Our courage to the last | N |
| The children in the years to be | F |
| Our trials shall discuss | O |
| And cheer the emblem of the free | F |
| In part because of us | O |
