Apoem question

the poem:

hats off!
along the street there comes
a blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
a flash of color beneath the sky:
hats off!
the flag is passing by!

blue and crimson and white it shines
over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
hats off!
the colors before us fly;
but more than the flag is passing by.

sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great,
fought to make and to save the state:
weary marches and sinking ships;
cheers of victory on dying lips;

days of plenty and years of peace;
march of a strong land’s swift increase;
equal justice, right, and law,
stately honor and reverend awe;

sign of a nation, great and strong
to ward her people from foreign wrong:
pride and glory and honor, — all
live in the colors to stand or fall.

hats off!
along the street there comes
a blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
and loyal hearts are beating high:
hats off!
the flag is passing by!

the question: why is the opening line repeated throughout the poem

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.
