Katharine Lee Bates - America The BeautifulKatharine Lee Bates - America The Beautiful
Work rating: Medium


O beautiful for spacious skies,         For amber waves of grain,     For purple mountain majesties         Above the fruited plain!             America! America!         God shed His grace on thee     And crown thy good with brotherhood         From sea to shining sea!     O beautiful for pilgrim feet,        Whose stern, impassioned stress    A thoroughfare for freedom beat        Across the wilderness!            America! America!        God mend thine every flaw,    Confirm thy soul in self-control,        Thy liberty in law!    O beautiful for heroes proved        In liberating strife,    Who more than self their country loved,        And mercy more than life!            America! America!        May God thy gold refine,    Till all success be nobleness,        And every gain divine!    O beautiful for patriot dream        That sees beyond the years    Thine alabaster cities gleam        Undimmed by human tears!            America! America!        God shed His grace on thee    And crown thy good with brotherhood        From sea to shining sea!
