SOJVG OF THE FLOWER ANGELS. 369 
Then to the Western World we came, 
And sowed the flowers of holy name— 
Red, and white, and blue. 
Love, and Faith, and Truth, were sown_ 
And oh ! how strong the plants are grown! 
And o’er the earth the flowers are strown, 
Red, and white, and blue; 
For Freedom, eagle-pinioned, flew, 
To bear the red, and white, and blue. 
Now in a banner, fair to see, 
The hues are twined in Trinity, 
Red, and white, and blue: 
The red and white, like flowers of light, 
And stars, as seeds, the blue bedight; 
And o’er the world this banner bright, 
Red, and white, and blue— 
Shall have a guard of angels true, 
Who love the red, and white, and blue.
