JUNE flung her flag out Shining wet with dew,— Red and white the clover And a sky of blue! June sang a song to the flag of the free, The wind caught the music and sang it to the tree, The sky caught the music and sang it 'cross the sea; The sea caught the music and flung it round the world; Then a million flags like June's flag were instantly unfurled, So sing on forever, O wind, and sky, and sea, And wave on so forever, bright flag of the free! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING AS MEMORY by HAYDEN CARRUTH TEARS AND KISSES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE DINNER-PARTY by AMY LOWELL TWO POEMS FROM THE WAR: 1 by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH SURFACES AND MASKS; 3 by CLARENCE MAJOR DOMESDAY BOOK: FATHER WHIMSETT by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
