And I hail the little mother, with the tear-stained face and grave

Who has given the Flag a soldier—she's the bravest of the brave.

And that banner we are proud of, with its red and blue and white

Is a lasting tribute holy to all mothers' love of right.


The Big Deeds

We are done with little thinking and we're done with little deeds,

We are done with petty conduct and we're done with narrow creeds;

We have grown to men and women, and we've noble work to do,

And to-day we are a people with a larger point of view.
