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! + 
