Flag of the rainbow, resplendently streaming,
Banner of stars in the blue above gleaming,
Ensign, whose story is record of glory—
Flag of the rainbow and banner of stars.
Flag of a land where the people are free,
Ever the breezes salute and caress it;
Planted on earth, or afloat on the sea,
Gallant men guard it, and fair women bless it.
Fling out its folds o’er a country united,
