The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Heap O' Livin' by Edgar A. Guest: Within ourselves -- to-day.
'Tis we must love
That flag above
With all our might and main;
For from our hands,
Not distant lands,
Shall come dishonor's stain.
If that flag be
Dishonored, we
Have done it, not the foe;
If it shall fall
 A Heap O' Livin' |
