PATRIOTIC PIECES
Now I miss the noise they made there as they played;
It seems too quiet over there by far—
Oh, they're watching from the window of the house across the way
By the little flag that bears a single star!
There's a Wonder Flag in Wall Street,
Flying from a dizzy height,
Like a gorgeous patch of heaven
That was ripped from starry night.
But no star there in its beauty
Tells of stronger Love and Duty
Than the little one-star flag across the way!
