America the Beautiful Songtext
von Katharine Lee Bates

O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple moutain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood


Fro sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern ipassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law
