 to be A Frigate’s name (by present glory spanned)-- The Cumberland. Sounding name as ere was sung, Flowing, rolling on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! She warred and sunk. There’s no denying That she was ended--quelled; And yet her flag above her fate is flying, As when it swelled Unswallowed by the swallowing sea: so grand-- The Cumberland. Goodly name as ere was sung, Roundly rolling on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! What need to tell how she was fought-- The sinking flaming gun-- The gunner leaping out the port-- Washed back, undone! Her dead unconquerably manned The Cumberland. Noble name as ere was sung, Slowly roll it on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! Long as hearts shall share the flame Which burned in that brave crew, Her fame shall live--outlive the victor’s name; For this is due. Your flag and flag-staff shall in story stand-- Cumberland! Sounding name as ere was sung, Long they’ll roll it on the tongue-- Cumberland! Cumberland! In the Turret. (March, 1862.)
