America the Beautiful

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!

by Katharine Lee Bates

  1. We were watching the Memorial Day program on PBS last evening, and someone was singing "America the Beautiful". Calysta said, "She's singing one of the Pledge of Allegiance songs". I thought it was precious.
