Autograph poem, signed "S. F. Smith," on an off-white 7.5 x 10 lined sheet, September 1864. Smith pens his poem, "The American Flag in Nature," in part: "All nature sings wildly the song of the free, / The red, white, and blue float o'er land and o'er sea; / The white-in each billow that breaks on the shore, / The blue-in the arching that canopies o'er / The land of our birth, in its glory outspread— / And sunset dyes deepen and glow into red." Inlaid into a larger 9.25 x 13 sheet and in fine condition. Accompanied by an engraved portrait featuring Smith's facsimile signature.
