When Freedom from her mountain height Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night, And set the stars of glory there.

More quotes by Joseph Rodman Drake
Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valour given, Thy stars have lit the welkin dome And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Joseph Rodman Drake
Yet I will look upon thy face again, My own romantic Bronx, and it will be A face more pleasant than the face of men. Thy waves are old companions, I shall see A well remembered form in each old tree And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy.
Joseph Rodman Drake
