AMERICA

In deeds of daring unforecast,
In deeds of valor unsurpassed,
In deeds that make thee known at last,
Mother-land!


Thy strength it was that made them strong;
Thy justice taught them hate of wrong;
They are of thee, to thee belong,
Mother-land.


Their lungs are filled with thy sweet breath;
Thy voice they hear, and what it saith;
They love thee, and they fear not death,
Mother-land!
