America the Beautiful

Katharine Lee Bates

14 passages1895

1O beautiful for spacious skies,

2For amber waves of grain,

3For purple mountain majesties

4Above the fruited plain!

5America! America! God shed His grace on thee

6And crown thy good with brotherhood

7From sea to shining sea!

8O beautiful for pilgrim feet,

9Whose stern, impassioned stress

10A thoroughfare for freedom beat

11Across the wilderness!

12America! America! God mend thine every flaw,

13Confirm thy soul in self-control,

14Thy liberty in law!
