To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To gain these fruits that have been earned, To hold these fields that have been won, Our arms have strained, our backs have burned, Bent bare beneath a ruthless sun.
That Banner which is now the type Of victory on field and flood--Remember, its first crimson stripe Was dyed by Attucks' willing blood.
And never yet has come the cry-- When that fair flag has been assailed--For men to do, for men to die, That we have faltered or have failed.
We've helped to bear it, rent and torn, Through many a h...ot-breath'd battle breezeHeld in our hands, it has been borne And planted far across the seas.
And never yet, --O haughty Land, Let us, at least, for this be praised--Has one black, treason-guided hand Ever against that flag been raised.
Then should we speak but servile words, Or shall we hang our heads in shame?Stand back of new-come foreign hordes, And fear our heritage to claim?
No! stand erect and without fear, And for our foes let this suffice--We've bought a rightful sonship here, And we have more than paid the price.
