    United States, your banner wears
    Two emblems--one of fame;
    Alas! the other that it bears
    Reminds us of your shame.
    Your banner's constellation types
    White freedom with its stars,
    But what's the meaning of the stripes?
    They mean your negroes' scars.

Fling out, fling out, with cheer and shout,
To all the winds of Our Country's Banner!
