Thick-Sprinkled Bunting

Thick-sprinkled bunting! flag of stars!
Long yet your
road, fateful flag--long yet your road, and lined with
bloody death,
For the prize I see at issue at last is the
world,
All its ships and shores I see interwoven with
your threads greedy
banner;
Dream'd again the flags of
kings, highest borne, to flaunt unrival'd?
O hasten flag
of man--O with sure and steady step, passing highest
flags of kings,
Walk supreme to the heavens mighty
symbol--run up above them all,
Flag of stars!
thick-sprinkled bunting! |
