How they blessed the little Quaker

And her flag of stripes and stars;

’Neath its folds, the foemen scorning,

Glinted bayonets and blade,

And the breezes of the morning

Kissed the banner Betsey made.

Years have passed, but still in glory

With a pride we love to see,

Laureled with a nation’s glory

Waves the emblem of the free;
