THE FLAG OF THE PRESS
It is not of silk or of bunting*.
M’liis flay that, all tyrants abhor;
It has no heraldic devices,
Ot snngruine, gules, a/ure, vert, or#
Its colors arc sable and arjront:
Its elements paper and ink.
The spirits of knowledge and froodotn.
Ana whutever such spirits may thinv.
And its heraldry's simple enough;
.fiisi so many columns per pun:
Hut in thorn is to,mlit without cousins
Tho battle that Froedom must wage.
Tho warfare of good-against evil.
Of weakue s in suit ag-ainat might.
Of ignorance seeking for knowledge,
Of wrong In contention with right.
It flutters !n senate and palace;
Is found in the workiMimnin’s liand.
More free than the emblem of freedom,
It dares (ivory ivrong to withstand;
It c u n i not for King nor for Kaiser;
No ukase can fold it away:
When it .urges the conflict of Freedom,
Then kingdoms and Kings pass away.
Fly ovvr the world, paper Banner,
In thy sable an 1 unroot dress!
For the banner of Freedom is freest,
When H dies with the Flaw of the Fresi
Fly over fhe armi<‘s of knowledge!
Ga forth Avitb tho armies of rii*ht.!
In c >Ua.’;o, in in senate.
Fly! iianiL'i ' f f reedom and hight!
