    England! Whence came each glowing hue
    That hints your flag of meteor light,--
    The streaming red, the deeper blue,
    Crossed with the moonbeams' pearly white?
    The blood, the bruise--the blue, the red--
    Let Asia's groaning millions speak;
    The white it tells of colour fled
    From starving Erin's pallid cheek.

Fling out, fling out, with cheer and shout,
To all the winds of Our Country's Banner!
Be every bar, and every star,

Blow, zephyrs, sweetly mournful, sighing, sighing, sighing!

A flash of color beneath the sky:

Shone like a meteor streaming to the wind.
