• The union of hearts-the union of hands-And the flag of our Union forever. - George Pope Morris. Your flag and my flag, And how it flies today In your land and my land And half a world away! Rose-red and blood-red The stripes for ever gleam; Snow-white and souldwhite- The good forefathers' dream; Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars to gleam aright- The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter through the night.

    Wilbur D. Nesbit: The union of hearts-the union of hands-And the flag of our Union forever. - George Pope Morris.
Your flag and my flag, 
And how it flies today 
In your land and my land 
And half a world away! 
Rose-red and blood-red 
The stripes for ever gleam; 
Snow-white and souldwhite- 
The good forefathers' dream; 
Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars to gleam aright- 
The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter through the night.
