In its silken sheen this flag was new
When its bright folds kissed theatr
And it passed to those brave men and true
From the hands of the ladies fair.
On the Stars and Stripes wild years have
stormed
In the rack of war since then,
.
But no truer hearts to its cause have warmed
Than those of our Western men
And never a flag was better borne
At duty's resounding call
Than this, so faded and frail and worn.
That hangs on a poor man's w all.
Its day is done and its story told,
And few -.re today alive
Who stood by its colors, stern and bold.
In the days o f ’ 55
So its stars from the dusky past still seem
To shine with a wistful glow
And tell like a dark and broken dream,
The story of long ago.
