BATHED IN WAR'S PERFUME.

BATHED in war's perfume—delicate flag! (Should the days needing armies, needing fleets, come
again,) O to hear you call the sailors and the soldiers! flag like
a beautiful woman! O to hear the tramp, tramp, of a million answering
men! O the ships they arm with joy! O to see you leap and beckon from the tall masts of
ships! O to see you peering down on the sailors on the decks! Flag like the eyes of women.
