FANCIES AT NAVESINK: 6, by WALT WHITMAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Proudly the flood comes in, shouting, foaming, advancing Last Line: Flaunting from many a spar the flag I love. Subject(s): Flags - United States; American Flag | |||
Proudly the flood comes in, shouting, foaming, advancing, Long it holds at the high, with bosom broad outswelling, All throbs, dilates -- the farms, woods, streets of cities -- workmen at work, Mainsails, topsails, jibs, appear in the offing -- steamers' pennants of smoke -- and under the forenoon sun, Freighted with human lives, gaily the outward bound, gaily the inward bound, Flaunting from many a spar the flag I love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLAG GOES BY by HENRY HOLCOMB BENNETT THE AMERICAN FLAG by JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE THE CALL TO THE COLORS by ARTHUR GUITERMAN BETSY'S BATTLE FLAG by MINNA IRVING THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG by ANNIE CHAMBERS KETCHUM THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER by FRANCIS SCOTT KEY |
