To the "Red of It"
Here s to the red of it;
There's not a thread of it
No. nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it, '
Faced steel and lead for it;
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it red.
To the "White of IL"
Here's to the white of it!
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Whfl knows the might of it
But feels the right of it
Through day and night.
Womanhood's care for it;
Made manhood dare for it;
Purity's prayer for it
Kept it so white.
To the "Bluci of It,"
Here's to the blue of- it,.
Heaven:' hue of it,
St:u-sr'Uis.'led hue of it,
Honesty's duo- of it
Constant nnd true,
lb-re's to the whole of it,
Stars, Stjipes and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it,
Red, white and blue.
