    England! Whence came each glowing hue
    That hints your flag of meteor light,--
    The streaming red, the deeper blue,
    Crossed with the moonbeams' pearly white?
    The blood, the bruise--the blue, the red--
    Let Asia's groaning millions speak;
    The white it tells of colour fled
    From starving Erin's pallid cheek.

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.

And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky.

Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.

Uncover when the flag goes by, boys,
'Tis freedom's starry banner that you greet,
Flag fames in song and story
Long may it wave, old glory
The flag that has never known defeat.

Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale.
