White Sun Flag

    “There has fallen a splendid tear
    From the passion-flower at the gate.
    She is coming, my dove, my dear;
    She is coming, my life, my fate;
    The red rose cries, ‘She is near, she is near;’
    And the white rose weeps, ‘She is late;’
    The larkspur listens, ‘I hear, I hear;’
    And the lily whispers, ‘I wait.’”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “The sun was rising at six,
    No longer a battered panache above snow. . . .”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
    Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
    Here once the embattled farmers stood
    And fired the shot heard round the world.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
