Quotes

  • She's up there—Old Glory—where lightnings are sped;
    She dazzles the nations with ripples of red;
    And she'll wave for us living, or droop o'er us dead—
    The flag of our country forever!
    • "Our Flag Forever", st. 1. R. L. Paget (ed.) Poems of American Patriotism (Boston: L. C. Page & Co., 1898) p. 36. Variant, titled "The Flag of Our Country", in Comes One with a Song (Indianapolis and Kansas City: Bowen-Merrill Co., 1899) p. 146:
      She's up there—Old Glory—she's waving o'erhead;
      She dazzles the nations with ripples of red,
      And she'll wave for us living, or droop o'er us dead—
      She's the flag of our country forever!
