"Your flag and my flag— And how it flies to-day! In your land and my land, And half the world away! Rose-red and blood-red, The stripes forever gleam; Snow-white and soul-white— The good forefathers dream; Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars to shine aright— The gloried guidon of the day, a shelter through the night."
