Show "OUR COUNTRY." 4 Now party lines are swept away, And petty feuds put by, And every eye is fixed upon Our banner in the sky. From Oyster Bay to Oregon, From Florida to Maine, The Nation rises up as one And shouts the proud refrain, "Our Country!" . 1 The alien who beneath the Stars And Stripes has sought and found Protection and the home denied Where monarchies abound, No matter in what distant land He first beheld the light, In turn protects Old Glory now, And cries with all his might: "Our Country!" In peace or war, from coast to coast A living bulwark stands, A solid wall of loyal hearts And ever ready hands. Americans of every race And color, cult and creed Unite for it, and fight for it, And die for it if need, Our Country. (Minna Irving.) 0 |
