Sung, to the music of “Marching through Georgia,” at the anniversary of
the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution, held in
Columbia Theatre, Washington, D. C., Feb. 22, 1899.
Hail, all hail, the flag above us. Oh, how oft, to right
Wrong that war alone could end, that flag has led the fight,
Streaming on with fire and shot till, through the smoke, the light
Burst on the victory of freedom!
