FORT SUMTER.
117
Let the noise of rejoicing be loud in the land,—
    Hurra!
For Washington's spirit rejoices on high
O'er Sumter the flag of his love to descry;
It shall float till the bed of the ocean is dry,
    Hurra! hurra! and hurra!
It shall float till the last trumpet sounds in the sky,
    And then—float in glory! hurra!
