With hot-sweeping anger, came the horse
guards' clangor
On our flanks.
Then higher, higher, higher, burned the old
fashioned fire
Through the ranks!
Then the bare-headed Colonel
Galloped through the white infernal
COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN
O Columbia! the gem of the ocean! The home of the brave and the free; The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble When Liberty's form stands in view, Thy banners make tyranny tremble When borne by the red, white, and blue, When borne by the red, white, and blue, When borne by the red, white, and blue, 10 Thy banners make tyranny tremble When borne by the red, white, and blue.
When war winged its wide desolation, And threaten'd the land to deform; The ark then of Freedom's foundation, Columbia, rode safe through the storm: With her garlands of vict'ry around her, When so proudly she bore her brave crew, With her flag proudly floating before her, The boast of the red, white, and blue, The boast of the red, white, and blue, The boast of the red, white, and blue, With her flag proudly floating before her, The boast of the red, white, and blue.
The winecup, the winecup bring hither, 25 And fill you it true to the brim; May the wreaths they have worn never wither
