"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost
America The Beautiful
lyrics by Katherine Lee Bates
Oh 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!
Oh beautiful for pilgrim feet
whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thy every flaw!
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
Oh 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!
Oh beautiful for patriot dream!
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam
yes! those are real elks roaming around!
undimmed by human tears
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee!
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea
