17 Proudly the flood comes in

3

Proudly the flood comes in,  
 shouting, foaming, advancing
Long it ? holds at the high, with  
 bosom broad outswelling;
All 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.
