OUR COLORS AT FORT SUMTER by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE'S TO THE HERO OF MOULTRIE
HERE'S to the Hero of Moultrie ,
The valiant and the true;
True to our flag, by land and sea
Long may it wave for you .


May never traitor's touch pollute
Those colors of the sky;
We want them pure, to wrap about
Our heroes when they die!
