THE STARRY FLAG.-STOCKTON BATES.

From proud Atlantic's surging waves
To where the broad Pacific lies,
And playfully the bright sand laves
Beneath clear, sunny skies;

From far along Canadian lines,

The rocky borders of the land,
To where the Gulf in beauty shines,
And breaks upon the strand;

From Alleghany's crested mounts,
And on the Rocky's summits gray,
Where, brightly, snow-fed crystal founts
Are welling forth alway;

On Mississippi's mighty tides,
And on Ohio's silver stream,
Or where the Susquehanna glides,
Or Schuylkill's ripples gleam;

Where Delaware, with current grave,
Is sweeping outward to the sea;
In every land, on every wave,
The Starry Flag floats free!

And through all time this flag above,
In triumph o'er oppression's holds,
Shall, in the light of peace and love,
Unroll its glorious folds.
