Text Appearing Before Image:
as a tear;— And seeing you fly, and the boys marching by. Theres a shout in the throat and a blur in the eye And an aching to live for you always—or die. If, dying, we still keep you waving on high. And so, by our love For you, floating above. And the scars of all wars and the sorrows thereof, Who gave you the name of Old Glory, and why Are we thrilled at the name of Old Glory? Then the old banner leaped, like a sail in the blast,And fluttered an audible answer at last.— IV And it spake, with a shake of the voice, and it said:— By the driven snow-white and the living blood-red Of my bars, and their heaven of stars overhead— By the symbol conjoined of them all, skyward cast. As I float from the steeple, or flap at the mast, Or droop oer the sod where the long grasses nod,— My name is as old as the glory of God. . . . . So I came by the name of Old Glory. —James Whitcomb Riley.By permission of the author, and the publishers, The Bowen-MernllCompany, Indianapolis, Indiana.
