And as we came to you of old, although you never knew,
The hearts of us, each day and night, shall come with love to you.

To a Kindly Critic
If it’s wrong to believe in the land that we love,
And to pray for our flag to the good God above;
If it’s wrong to believe that our country is best;
That honor’s her standard, and truth is her crest;
If placing her first in our prayers and our song
Is false to true reason, we’re glad to be wrong.
