A host it flutters o’er;

Like bird above the roaring surge

That laves the storm-swept shore.”

“The Broom of Peril,” quoth the bard,

“Young Oscar’s banner, see:

Amidst the conflict of dread chiefs

The proudest name has he.”

The banner of great Finn we raised;

The Sunbeam gleaming far,

With golden spangles of renown
