A quotation from Katharine Lee Bates
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929) American writer and poet
Poem (1893), “America,” st. 1, The Congregationalist, Vol. 80, No. 27 (1895-07-04)More info about this quote: wist.info/bates-katharine-lee/…

@Professor_Stevens @Tooden @georgetakei
Mark Birdsall has "always thought that America The Beautiful was a better anthem than the Star Spangled Banner" [the vocal range is definitely more accessible!] ... but that "the verse with 'alabaster cities undimmed by human tears' did not fit the reality at all".
His suggested replacement:
O beautiful for blood long shed
In Freedom's labor pains,
The sweat and tears
Of many years
Must never be in vain;
America, America,
Let all hearts beat as one,
And let there be
Equality
From sun to rising sun.https://tech.lgbt/@grinningcat/112726874744744794

Your regular reminder that “America the Beautiful” can be sung to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne,” and vice versa. #AmericaTheBeautiful #AuldLangSyne #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay
