Saturday Poetry Corner: June's Flag

 

 

 

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!
