Up the Mississippi's tide Bravely still our vessels glide, Starry banners spreading wide From every topmast head. Batteries on either hand Still in grim defiance stand: Forward! is the fierce command, And rebel flags go down! Near the city soon we lay, Farragut has won the day! Dress the ships with streamers gay: All hail! brave Admiral! R. T. M. U. S. S. Mississippi, New-Orleans, April 25, 1862.
