White, symbol of honor no cowardice taints,
With blue as a sign of the circling wave,
And crosses that witness our faith and our saints.
It streams o’er the battle, forbidding retreat,
Reminding us ever of Albion’s name;
Brave banner of England, unsoiled by defeat,
The token of victory, valor, and fame.
Shot-ragged with bullets on numberless plains,
It’s folds with the hearts’ blood of Englishmen red,
Unbeaten, undaunted it ever remains,
