Year, No. 26 The Name of Old Glory Red Cross Drive Big Success (By James Whitcomb Riley.) Old Glory! say, who, by the ships and the crew, And the long, blended ranks of the gray and the blue— Who gave you, Old Glory, the name that ycu bear Withstich pride everywhere, As you cast yourself free to the rapturous air, And leap out full length, as we are wanting you to?— Who gave you that name, with the ring of the same, Ami the honor and fame so becoming to you? Your stripes stroked in ripples of white and of red, With your stars at their glittering best overhead— By day or by night their delightfulest light Laughing down from their little square heaven of blue! Who gave you the name of Old Glory—say, who— Who gave you the name of Old Glory? The old banner lifted, and, faltering, then In vague lisps and whispers fell silent again.

As I float from the steeple, or flap at the mast, Or droop o’er the sod where the long grasses nod — My name is as old as the glory of God, So I came by the name of Old Glory. Old Glory, speak out! We are asking about How you happened to "favor” a name, so to say, That sounds so familiar and careless and gay, As we cheer it, and shout in our wild, breezy way — We the crowd, every man of us, calling you that— We, Tom, Dick, and Harry, each swinging his hat And hurrahing "Old Glory!" like you were our kin, When — Lord!—we all know we’re as common as sin! And yet it just seems like you humor us all And waft us your thanks, as we hail you and fall Into line, with you over us, waving us on Where our glorified, sanctified betters have gone And this is the reason we're wanting to know (And we’re wanting it so!
