THICK-SPRINKLED bunting! Flag of stars! br Long yet your road, fateful flag!--long yet your road, and lined with br bloody death! br For the prize I see at issue, at last is the world! br All its ships and shores I see, interwoven with your threads, greedy br banner! br --Dream'd again the flags of kings, highest born, to flaunt br unrival'd? br O hasten, flag of man! O with sure and steady step, passing highest br flags of kings, br Walk supreme to the heavens, mighty symbol--run up above them all, br Flag of stars! thick-sprinkled bunting!br br Walt Whitmanbr br
