In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!" Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929), U.S. author. America the Beautiful (l. 17-20). . .

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!" Katharine Lee Bates (1859-1929), U.S. author. America the Beautiful (l. 1-4). . .
