For The Dear Old Flag, I Die is an American Civil War song. It was originally a poem written by George Cooper. The music by Stephen Foster was later added in. The song interprets the last words of a brave little drummer boy who was fatally wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. ''Verse 1'' :For the dear old Flag I die, :Said the wounded drummer boy; :Mother, press your lips to mine; :O, they bring me peace and joy! :'Tis the last time on earth :I shall ever see your face :Mother take me to your heart, :Let me die in your embrace. (Chorus) :For the dear old Flag I die, :Mother, dry your weeping eye; :For the honor of our land :And the dear old Flag I die, '' Verse 2'' :Do not mourn, my mother, dear, :Every pang will soon be o'er; :For I hear the angel band :Calling from their starry shore; :Now I see their banners wave :In the light of perfect day, :though 'tis hard to part with you, :Yet I would not wish to stay. (Chorus) :For the dear old Flag I die, :Mother, dry your weeping eye; :For the honor of our land :And the dear old Flag I die. ''Verse 3'' :Farewell mother, Death's cold hand :Weighs upon my spirit now, :And I feel his blighting breath :Fan my pallid cheek and brow. :Closer! closer! to your heart, :Let me feel that you are by, :While my sight is growing dim, :For the dear old Flag I die. (Chorus) :For the dear old Flag I die, :Mother, dry your weeping eye; :For the honor of our land :And the dear old Flag I die. ==Fiction== In the 2015 video game ''Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number'', a shortened version of the poem is included in the end credits of the game when the game is completed on Hard Mode. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「For the Dear Old Flag, I Die」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
