OUR FLAG IN FRANCE
Up with the flag in France, lads, up with the flag in France!
As the dawn-rays rising oversea, so be its bright advance;
The dawn-rays flaming on the sea, the morning round the world—
Long and dark was the night to us, while the Stars and Stripes were furled!
Out with the sword in France, lads, out with the sword in France!
As the sudden gleam of a twilight star, so be its flashing glance;
A star that brings a mighty hope to a people worn and pressed;
