<u>Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:</u>
My nation is for adoration  
So state its valleys  
Where old waterways stream  
The round trip of life  
Under the pleased eye of winged creatures  
Embellishing the sky.  
O wonderful for roomy skies,  
For golden floods of grain, 
For purple mountain majesties 
Over the fruited plain!  
Love America Love America once more.  
Love the fantasy it used to be.  
Love the pioneer on the plain  
Looking for a home where the Mind smiles 
Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings  
Once as a fly it played in the stars  
Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!
