With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.

ADDISON: _Ode._


=Flag.=

Flag of the free heart's hope and home!
By angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.

Shall yet terrific burn,
Till danger's troubled night depart,
And the star of peace return.
