Raise High the Banner

by James McIntyre

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

July 1st, 1891.
The school children were trained by Messrs. McDiarmid and Underwood, the former being Principal of the Public School.
Raise high up the banner O’er both school-house and manor, For this glorious standard Doth lead on in the vanguard.
Teach our children to honor This grand old famous banner; Triumphant in many a field, Our freedom it doth ever shield.
Children sang in happy manner At the raising of the banner; They followed leader all so good, For they were led by Underwood.
And our brave youths will man her, This pure, unspotted banner; Where the Maple Leaf entwines And with Union Jack combines.
