OE. rcnd 1t not-stiIl let It wave. That star gcmmed flag, OCT land and sea- The cherished signal Of the brave, The glorious banner of the free; Still let its eagle soar on high,

 Its stripes still fresh, its stars still bright. No tempest in the smiling sky,

 No gathering cloud to qHench their light.

There com a voice from every plain, From every mount of strife and glory, Where valor's blood has left a stain, Or history found theme for stol4; From Bunker hill, from Bennington, From glorious York the cfv Is heard; From Vaie to mount the sound r0lis on, And cen the ocean depths are stirred;

 From every fame e-remembcred spot

 The cry is heard. Oh! rend il not!
