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

(2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun.
