we can load and fire! Let them charge with their Iron Devil, They never shall see our backs-- What, all afloat on our gun-deck? Aye, your sponges and rammers to the racks! Sinking, my hearts, at an anchor-- But never say die till it's o'er! Are you ready there on the spar-deck? We'll give them one round more. Ready all, or the spar-deck? Aye, my lads, we're going down-- She's heeling — but one more broadside For the Navy and its old renown! Hurrah! there go the splinters! Ha! they shall know us where we drown! Now one cheer more, my hearties, For the Flag and its brave renown! They shall hear it, the fine old captains, With Hull and Perry looking down. They're watching us, where we founder, With a tear on each tough old cheek-- Down she goes, our noble frigate, But the Old Flag's still at her peak! It waves o'er the blood-red water-- Lawrence sees it where it flies! And they look down, our grand old captains, With a tear and a smile from the skies. --Hartford Courant. H. H. B
