| Proudly the flood comes in, |
| shouting, foaming, advancing |
| Long it ?holds at the high, with |
| bosom broad outswelling; |
| All that throbs, dilates—the farms |
| woods, the streets of cities, |
| the ^—the workmen at their work. |
| Mainsails, and topsails, and jibs, |
| appear in the offing—steamers |
| with pennants of smoke— |
| and under the noonday forenoon sun |
| Where my gaze as now sweeps ocean river and bay |
| ?Freighted with human lives, gaily |
| the outward bound, gaily the |
| inward bound |
| Where my gaze as now sweeps ocean river and bay |
| Flaunting from many a spar |
| the flag I love. |
Where my gaze ^as now
sweeps ocean |
| river and bay. |
