The people’s flag is deepest red,
— (Jim Connell, The Red Flag, hymne du parti travailliste britannique, 1889)
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts’ blood dyed its every fold.
So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we’ll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We’ll keep the red flag flying here.
- (Sens figuré) Chiffon rouge (→ voir agiter le chiffon rouge).
