Who Loves His Country
Who loves his country will not rest
Content with(2) vow and pledge alone,
But flies her banner in his breast
And counts her destiny his own(3) --
Not only when the bugle plays
Stands forth to give his life for her,
But on the field of common days
Is strong to live his life(4) for her.
He is not satisfied to claim
As heritage her power and fame,(5)
But, striving, earns the light to wear
The shining honor of her name.
