AMERICA



My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my father’s died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

Samuel Francis Smith
July 4, 1831
