O beautiful for spacious skies
O beautiful for pilgrims feet
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife
O beautiful for patriot dream
O beautiful for halcyon skies
O beautiful for glory-tale
O beautiful for patriot dream
(An excerpt from "America the Beautiful" by Katharine Lee Bates - 1913)
