PATRIOTIC PIECES
Across the wreck-strewn sea;
They go to pledge their country's faith
For God and liberty.
The Stars and Stripes they bear aloft
To join the British flag,
And with the colors of brave France,
They mean to end "Der Tag."
And soon, my boy, that service flag,
Born in the Nation's heart,
Will show the world that, when unfurled,
We proudly take our part.
