    Your flag and my flag,
    And how it flies today
    In your land and my land
    And half a 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 gleam aright--
    The gloried guidon of the day, a shelter through the night.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen stall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just.
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.

United States, your banner wears
Two emblems--one of fame;
Alas! the other that it bears
Reminds us of your shame.
Your banner's constellation types
White freedom with its stars,
But what's the meaning of the stripes?
They mean your negroes' scars.

Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky.

Uncover when the flag goes by, boys,
'Tis freedom's starry banner that you greet,
Flag fames in song and story
Long may it wave, old glory
The flag that has never known defeat.

Bastard Freedom waves
Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.
