19 17 "A Cedarville Contribution to the Cause of Patriotism" By Wilbur D. Ne8bit * "Pour iftag anb jFHp flag." 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 forever gleam Snow white and soul white, The good forefathers' dream. Sky blue and true blue, With stars to gleam aright; The gloried guerdon of the day, A shelter thru' the night. Your flag and my flag, To every star and stripe The drums beat as heart beat and fifer's shrilly pipe. Your flag and my flag, A blessing in the sky. Your hope and my hope, It never hid a lie. Homeland and far land and half the world around Old Glory hears our glad salute And ripples to the sound. Your flag and my flag, And oh,how much it holds; Your land and my land secure within its folds. Your heart and my heart Beat quicker at the sight. Sun-kissed and wind-tossed The red, the blue and white; The one flag,the great flag,the flag for me and you. Glorified all else beside The red, the white, the blue. * Mr. Nesbit is a native of Cedarville. He was born here September 16, 1871. Copyrighted by P.F. Volland & Co., Chicago.
