DELICATE CLUSTER.
| DELICATE cluster! flag of teeming life! |
| Covering all my lands—all my seashores lining! |
Flag of death! (how I watch'd you through the smoke of battle
pressing!
|
| How I heard you flap and rustle, cloth defiant!) |
| Flag cerulean—sunny flag, with the orbs of night dappled! |
| Ah my silvery beauty—ah my woolly white and crimson! |
| Ah to sing the song of you, my matron mighty! |
| My sacred one, my mother. |
