PURE blue Flag of heaven With your silver stars, Not beside those Crosses' Blood-stained torture-bars: Not beside the token The foul sea-harlot gave, Pure blue Flag of heaven, Must you ever wave! No, but young exultant,
Free from care and crime, The soulless selfish England Of this later time: No, but, faithful, noble Rising from her grave, Flag of light and liberty, For ever must you wave!
