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.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine ev’ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

STARS OF THE SUMMER NIGHT

Stars of the summer night,
Far in yon azure deeps
Hide, hide your golden light,
She sleeps, my lady sleeps;
She sleeps, she sleeps, my lady sleeps.

Moon of the summer night,

Far down yon western steeps,
Sink, sink in silver light,

She sleeps, my lady sleeps;
She sleeps, she sleeps, my lady sleeps.

Dreams of the summer night,
Tell her, her lover keeps
Watch while, in slumber light,
She sleeps, my lady sleeps;
She sleeps, she sleeps, my lady sleeps.
