Bathed In War's Perfume

BATHED in war's perfume-delicate flag!
(Should the days needing armies, needing fleets, come again,)
O to hear you call the sailors and the soldiers! flag like a
  beautiful woman!
O to hear the tramp, tramp, of a million answering men! O the ships
  they arm with joy!
O to see you leap and beckon from the tall masts of ships!
O to see you peering down on the sailors on the decks!
Flag like the eyes of women.
