    Yankee Doodle/Patriotic Poetry
    Flag of the Free

    Look at the flag as it floats on high,
    Streaming aloft in the clear, blue sky,
    Rippling, leaping, tugging away,
    Gay as the sunshine, bright as the day,
    Throbbing with life, where the world may see-
    Flag of our country, flag of the free!
    What do we see in the flag on high,
    That we bare our heads as it passes by,
    That we thrill with pride, our hearts beat fast,
    And we cheer and cheer as the flag goes past-
    The flag that waves for you and me-
    Flag of our country, flag of the free?

    We see in the flag a nation's might.
    The pledge of a safeguard day and night,
    Of a watchful eye and a powerful arm
    That guard the nation's homes from harm.
    Of a strong defense on land and sea-
    Flag of our country, flag of the free!
    We see in the flag a union grand,
    A brotherhood of heart and hand,
    A pledge of love and a stirring call
    To live our lives fro the good of us all-
    Helpful and just and true to thee,
    Flag of our country, flag of the free!

    Flutter, dear flag, o'er the lands and seas!
    Fling out your stars and your stripes to the breeze,
    Righting all wrongs, dispelling all fear,
    Guarding the land that we cherish so dear,
    And the God of our fathers, abiding with thee,
    Will bless you and trust you, O flag of the free!
