The sinking of the Titanic, and other poems

by Clarence Victor Stahl

COLUMBIA’S FLAG

Let’s raise Columbia’s banner to the clouds

And hoist her colors in the skies;

Let every patriot ’neath her azure stand;

Let never a foe upon her rise!

Let’s wear her emblem proudly on our breasts;

Let’s steel our hearts with valor true.

As long as she doth guard our liberty

With the tints of the red, white and blue!

Whether in peace or in the battle’s roar,
