WITH the good of our country before us, Why play the mere partisan's game? Lo! the broad flag of England is o'er us, And behold on both sides 'tis the same! Not for this, not for that, not for any, Not for these, not for those, but for all, -- To the last drop of blood, -- the last penny -- Together let's stand, or let's fall! Tear down the vile signs of a fraction, Be the national banner unfurl'd, -- And if we must have any faction, -- Be it "Britain against all the world." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHILD'S PRAYER [OR, HYMN] by MATILDA BARBARA BETHAM-EDWARDS THE THANKSGIVING IN BOSTON HARBOR [JUNE 12, 1630] by HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH CHURCH-MUSICK [CHURCH MUSIC] by GEORGE HERBERT SONNET: 73 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE LEFT BEHIND by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN |
