Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (51)
O, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
