STARS [[Images of American flag, stars, airplanes and clouds throughout border of the page]] TO THE AMERICAN FLAG By Herbert Phillips Lovecraft Starry folds whose matchless splendour Long hath bless'd our grateful eyes; Gleaming with a light more tender Than your rivals in the skies, Wave, as always, in a glory None my tarnish or excell; Keep upon our lips the story That our fathers lov'd to tell! May your grandeur be unceasing, Proud reminder of the past, As in noble rank increasing, each new ray outshines the last; Yesterday for one young nation You in valour were unfurl'd, But today your constellation Beams aloft for all the world! (The Californian, Summer, 1937).
