Thick-Sprinkled Bunting
Thick-sprinkled bunting! flag of stars!Long yet your road, fateful flag—long yet your road, and lined withbloody 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 highestflags of kings,Walk supreme to the heavens mighty symbol—run up above them all,Flag of stars! thick-sprinkled bunting!
