THE EAGLE'S BROOD
We come, O men, of bleeding France,
TV> An our bit, to fight, to stare;
Our Eagles sweep the reddened1 seas,
Swift-winged and true they; cleave
t)ie air;
And over all the Grand) Old Flag,
Torn from arches o£ the night.
Streams like a splendid orlflamme
Above tho battte-hosts of R^t.1
Beleaguered comrades, hold the
line! i j
Th« Flag is ooming, shining still
As when It shorn a at Lexington,
As when it gleamed at Bunker
Hill* . i • .
The Flag for which your LAFayette
And Rochambreau drew sword
aad l&nco
Is fyina: now for those who fight
For Freedom and for stricken
France,
0 brothers In the common, cause
Or Iperty beyon^ the seas,
Lift up your eyes and catch the
gleam
Of glory streaming In the breeze!
Somewhere along the far-flung line
Of trench and barricade It shines
lu war-like splendor, red and white
And blue above the battle lines.
[The E-igle's wings are spread for
! flight.
One more Is norn. its war-like
mood; i
Somewhere InF ranee the Eagle's
Flag
Is carried Dy the Eagle's brood.
God save tUe Flag that those who
die
May not have fought and died In
vain! i i ■
God give our Eagle's brood the
strength '
To v;in—to save the Flag from
stain!
