America, the Beautiful Words by Katharine Lee Bates Music by Samuel A. Ward Words and Music public domain 641
O beautiful for spacious skiesFor amber waves of grainFor purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain
O beautiful for pilgrim feetWhose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness
O beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strifeWho more than selftheir country lovedAnd mercy more than life
O beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees, beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tears
