John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
NUMBER:7443
AUTHOR:Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910)
QUOTATION:The flag of our stately battles, not struggles of wrath and greed,
Its stripes were a holy lesson, its spangles a deathless creed:
’T was red with the blood of freemen and white with the fear of the foe;
And the stars that fight in their courses ’gainst tyrants its symbols know.
ATTRIBUTION:The Flag.
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
