Another starry banner flings Her gorgeous triple color forth, And flaunts the ocean’s breeze with wings Untiring from the South to North. Another mast stands high amain Amid the masts time touched with gray. May this stand fast and honor gain Through battle’s din and death's array. Another flag is proudly set; The salt sea bathes her virgin brow, And now her anchor chains are wet And gleaming on her sturdy bow. When floods of western evening light Bathe all her decks and masts and spars, Or fire of the northern lights Pour over her their colored bars, We pray her banner ne'er be torn, Nor sunk beneath the stormy flood, Nor e’er in wrong those stripes be worn, Nor drenched in human blood. But if needs be she'll fail us not To speak the words with might; To pour the summons thick and hot, And make wrong’s darkness right. M. A. Yoruers.
