The Olympians are marching
and their flags are flying,
cream, night, amber,
honey, sunrise, seashell, bisque,
mocha, cashmere, bronze,
sandstone, porcelain, pink,
and olive backgrounds
behind green, blue and gold stars
crossed with glowing strands
of black, gold, red and brown.
Oh to bear this banner firmly,
to hail proudly,
to agree to compete
and to win or to lose.
