	A
	-
'T is midnight through my troubled dream	B
Loud wails the tempest's cry	C
Before the gale with tattered sail	D
A ship goes plunging by	C
What name Where bound The rocks around	E
Repeat the loud halloo	D
The good ship Union Southward bound	E
God help her and her crew	F
	-
And is the old flag flying still	D
That o'er your fathers flew	F
With bands of white and rosy light	G
And field of starry blue	F
Ay look aloft its folds full oft	H
Have braved the roaring blast	I
And still shall fly when from the sky	C
This black typhoon has past	I
	-
Speak pilot of the storm tost bark	J
May I thy peril share	K
O landsman there are fearful seas	L
The brave alone may dare	K
Nay ruler of the rebel deep	M
What matters wind or wave	N
The rocks that wreck your reeling deck	O
Will leave me naught to save	N
	-
O landsman art thou false or true	F
What sign hast thou to show	P
The crimson stains from loyal veins	Q
That hold my heart blood's flow	P
Enough what more shall honor claim	R
I know the sacred sign	S
Above thy head our flag shall spread	T
Our ocean path be thine	S
	-
The bark sails on the Pilgrim's Cape	U
Lies low along her lee	D
Whose headland crooks its anchor flukes	V
To lock the shore and sea	D
No treason here it cost too dear	W
To win this barren realm	X
And true and free the hands must be	D
That hold the whaler's helm	X
	-
Still on Manhattan's narrowing bay	Y
No rebel cruiser scars	Z
Her waters feel no pirate's keel	D
That flaunts the fallen stars	Z
But watch the light on yonder height	G
Ay pilot have a care	K
Some lingering cloud in mist may shroud	A2
The capes of Delaware	K
	-
Say pilot what this fort may be	D
Whose sentinels look down	B2
From moated walls that show the sea	D
Their deep embrasures' frown	B2
The Rebel host claims all the coast	C2
But these are friends we know	P
Whose footprints spoil the 'sacred soil '	-
And this is Fort Monroe	P
	-
The breakers roar how bears the shore	D2
The traitorous wreckers' hands	E2
Have quenched the blaze that poured its rays	F2
Along the Hatteras sands	E2
Ha say not so I see its glow	P
Again the shoals display	Y
The beacon light that shines by night	G
The Union Stars by day	Y
	-
The good ship flies to milder skies	G2
The wave more gently flows	H2
The softening breeze wafts o'er the seas	L
The breath of Beaufort's rose	H2
What fold is this the sweet winds kiss	I2
Fair striped and many starred	J2
Whose shadow palls these orphaned walls	K2
The twins of Beauregard	J2
	-
What heard you not Port Royal's doom	L2
How the black war ships came	R
And turned the Beaufort roses' bloom	L2
To redder wreaths of flame	R
How from Rebellion's broken reed	M2
We saw his emblem fall	D
As soon his cursed poison weed	M2
Shall drop from Sumter's wall	D
	-
On on Pulaski's iron hail	D
Falls harmless on Tybee	D
The good ship feels the freshening gales	N2
She strikes the open sea	D
She rounds the point she threads the keys	L
That guard the Land of Flowers	O2
And rides at last where firm and fast	I
Her own Gibraltar towers	O2
	-
The good ship Union's voyage is o'er	P2
At anchor safe she swings	Q2
And loud and clear with cheer on cheer	W
Her joyous welcome rings	Q2
Hurrah Hurrah it shakes the wave	N
It thunders on the shore	D2
One flag one land one heart one hand	R2
One Nation evermore	D2
