Bathed in war's perfume -- delicate flag! / 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.
