Who crossed the Delaware's frozen stream,

Who starved, who fought, who bled, who died,

That you might float in glorious pride, Old Flag?

Who of the women brave and true, Old Flag,

Who, while the cannon thundered wild,

Sent forth a husband, lover, child.

Who labored in the field by day,

Who, all the night long, knelt to pray,

And thought that God great mercy gave,

If only freely you might wave, Old Flag?
