“America the Beautiful”
By Katharine Lee Bates, written 1893
America the Beautiful
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.
