O beautiful for spacious skies, . . . O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Til all success be nobleness And every gain divine!
Katharine Lee BatesO, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain.
