"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."
Author: Charles L. Benjamin and George D. Sutton
About: Flags
"Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by."
Author: Henry Holcomb Bennett
About: Flags
"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."
Author: Thomas Campbell

That guard our native seas;
Whose flag has braved a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze!"

"Fling out, fling out, with cheer and shout,
To all the winds of Our Country's Banner!
Be every bar, and every star,
Displayed in full and glorious manner!
Blow, zephyrs, blow, keep the dear ensign flying!
Blow, zephyrs, sweetly mournful, sighing, sighing, sighing!"
Author: Abraham Coles

Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there."

By angel hands to valour given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome;
And all thy hues were born in heaven."

"A moth-eaten rag on a worm-eaten pole,
It does not look likely to stir a man's soul.
'Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag,
When the pole was a staff, and the rag was a flag."
Author: Sir Edward Bruce Hamley
