America
July 04, 2012
O beautiful for spacious skies (highway, south Texas)
for amber waves of grain (winter rye, western Massachusetts)
For purple mountains' majesty (Berkshires, western Massachusetts)
Above the fruited plain (strawberry field, western Massachusetts)
America, America, God shed His grace on thee (border crossing, northern New York)
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea (rocky coast, Maine: Atlantic)
to shining sea (jetty, southern California: Pacific)!
(lyrics from America the Beautiful.) Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate!
