Many of you know how much I love my country and love our flag. This week I'm sharing a poem by American poet Joseph Rodman Drake.
"The American Flag" by Joseph Rodman Drake
When freedom, from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
