I	A
	-
When Freedom from her mountain height	B
Unfurled her standard to the air	C
She tore the azure robe of night	B
And set the stars of glory there	C
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes	D
The milky baldric of the skies	D
And striped its pure celestial white	B
With streakings of the morning light	B
Then from his mansion in the sun	E
She called her eagle bearer down	F
And gave into his mighty hand	G
The symbol of her chosen land	G
	-
II	A
	-
Majestic monarch of the cloud	H
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form	I
To hear the tempest trumpings loud	H
And see the lightning lances driven	E
When strive the warriors of the storm	I
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven	E
Child of the sun to thee 'tis given	E
To guard the banner of the free	J
To hover in the sulphur smoke	K
To ward away the battle stroke	K
And bid its blendings shine afar	L
Like rainbows on the cloud of war	M
The harbingers of victory	J
	-
III	A
	-
Flag of the brave thy folds shall fly	A
The sign of hope and triumph high	A
When speaks the signal trumpet tone	N
And the long line comes gleaming on	O
Ere yet the life blood warm and wet	P
Has dimm'd the glistening bayonet	P
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn	Q
To where thy sky born glories burn	Q
And as his springing steps advance	R
Catch war and vengeance from the glance	R
And when the cannon mouthings loud	H
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud	H
And gory sabres rise and fall	S
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pall	T
Then shall thy meteor glances glow	U
And cowering foes shall shrink beneath	V
Each gallant arm that strikes below	U
That lovely messenger of death	W
	-
IV	A
	-
Flag of the seas on ocean wave	A
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave	A
When death careering on the gale	X
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail	X
And frighted waves rush wildly back	Y
Before the broadside's reeling rack	Y
Each dying wanderer of the sea	J
Shall look at once to heaven and thee	J
And smile to see thy splendours fly	A
In triumph o'er his closing eye	A
	-
V	J
	-
Flag of the free heart's hope and home	Z
By angel hands to valour given	E
The stars have lit the welkin dome	Z
And all thy hues were born in heaven	E
For ever float that standard sheet	A2
Where breathes the foe but falls before us	B2
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet	A2
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us	B2
