THE FLAG OF THE FREE.
It is enough, the flag lift high,
Effuse the stream of jubilee;
Proclaim aloud in earth and sky,
The flag floats over the free.
Effuse the stream of jubilee;
Proclaim aloud in earth and sky,
The flag floats over the free.
It is enough, who would be sad,
Let it be spread by land and sea,
The Union is in honor clad,
The flag floats over the free.
Let it be spread by land and sea,
The Union is in honor clad,
The flag floats over the free.
The flag is spread, the storm is o'er,
The echo's break the vast decree;
The soldiers cease and fight no more,
The flag floats over the free.
The echo's break the vast decree;
The soldiers cease and fight no more,
The flag floats over the free.
Lift up thy head, exhausted slave,
Nor to the woods for shelter flee;
Vain shall the threat'ning tyrant save,
The flag floats over the free.
Nor to the woods for shelter flee;
Vain shall the threat'ning tyrant save,
The flag floats over the free.
Come home then straggling wretch, come home,
And from a rebel scorn to flee;
No more thro' sultry valley's roam,
The flag floats over the free.
And from a rebel scorn to flee;
No more thro' sultry valley's roam,
The flag floats over the free.
56
No longer let the sighs be heard,
From vassals on the bended knee;
Forbidden to return a word,
The flag floats over the free.
From vassals on the bended knee;
Forbidden to return a word,
The flag floats over the free.
