Excerpt from Lest We Forget The Stars, thy parents are, 0 Shenandoah Above thy silvery waves, a stream of light In waving lines of bars, along thy shores, Was flashing red in azure hue of night, When poet saw, and wove in fancy dight: A web, with stars among and dreams elate, A cross, with stars along for banner bright, A song, with tones to woo the patriot's fate.
