And many a heart was left forlorn;
But prouder o’er our Western shore,
Its Eagle-Bird was seen to soar;
And in his talons, as he flies,
He bears our Flag of victories;
And ever shall that Banner be,
The hope, the shield of Liberty.
Then shout the Flag, our Country’s Flag,
The Banner-Flag of Liberty;
Then wave the Flag, our Union’s Flag,
