War of 1812 (Lake Champlain)

Aye, tear her tattered ensign down!Long has it
waved on high,And many an eye has danced to
seeThat banner in the sky Beneath it rung the
battle shout,And burst the cannons roarThe
meteor of the ocean airShall sweep the clouds no
more!Her decks, once red with heroes
blood,Where knelt the vanquished foe,When winds
were hurrying oer the flood, And waves were
white below,No more shall feel the victors
treadOr know the conquered kneeThe harpies of
the shore shall pluckThe eagle of the sea! Oh,
better that her shattered hulkShould sink
beneath the waveHer thunders shook the mighty
deep,And there should be her graveNail to the
mast her holy flag,Set every threadbare
sail,And give her to the god of storms,The
lightning and the gale!
Old Ironsides
