Valentine's city of New York; a guide book, with six maps and one hundred and sixty full page pictures . rchestra under the direction of the composer, persons are aware of the birth of this popularsong, which you see has quite a distinguished origin. * * -X- * 4«- And, speaking of songs, reminds us of another onethat has enjoyed lasting popularity, The AmericanFlag, written by Joseph Rodman Drake, another NewYorker. The rollicking chorus of this ballad, ThreeCheers for the Red, White and Blue, might well becalled the father of all the Cohan-Berlin syncopatedragtime-jazz music, now so universally popular. Drake was a contemporary and friend of was a most promising young poet, but died at theearly age of twentv-five. His Culprit Fay is one ofthe most fanciful poems in literature. To Fitz GreeneHalleck, his devoted friend, his loss was a sorrow whichhe never forgot. His lament beginning: Green be the turf above thee,Friend of my better days,None knew thee but to love theeNor named thee bnt to praise. still remains one of the most touching tributes in Englishpoetry. 338.
