Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Flag That Won The Flag That Won. In time of peace serene it hung, Soft breezes scarce its brave folds flung Athwart the sky; and freeman´s tongue Scarce sang its wonted praises. Great ships, whence once its colors flew, Rode idly on the glassy blue; Nor felt our land one stress, or rue; War slept, among the daisies. The red, the white, the blue were there; But scarcely rose the patriot´s prayer - Security had palsied care - What needed we defenders. Sweet peace had long our borders held, Fierce civil strife long since been quelled; And from all hearts but softly welled The thoughts that love engenders. But, see! a cloud athwart the sky Sweeps upward till our colors fly; Pray it may pass us scathless by, Nor blood be stirred to battle. Nay, nay! a shriek falls on our ears; Our brothers wade through blood and tears, Aside! put far aside our fears When men are smote like cattle!
