Long has it waved on high, And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky; Beneath it rung the battle shout,5 And burst the cannon's roar; -- The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more. Her deck, once red with heroes' blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe,10 When winds were hurrying o'er the flood, And waves were white below, No more shall feel the victor's tread, Or know the conquered knee; -- The harpies of the shore shall pluck15 The eagle of the sea!
