\n

America<\/a>
\nSamual Francis Smith
\n(1808-1895)<\/p>\n

\n

My country, ‘Tis of thee,
\nSweet land of liberty,
\nOf thee I sing;
\nLand where my fathers died,
\n“Land of the pilgrims’ pride
\nFrom every mountain-side
\nLet freedom ring.<\/p>\n

\n

My native country<\/a>, thee
\nLand of the noble free,
\nThy name I love;
\nI love thy rocks and rills.
\nThy woods and templed hills;
\nmy heart with rapture thrills
\nLike that above.<\/p>\n

\n

Let music swell the breeze,
\nAnd ring from all the trees
\nSweet freedom’s song;
\nlet mortal tongues awake,
\nLet all that breathe partake,
\nLet rocks their silence break–
\nThe sound prolong.<\/p>\n

\n

Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
\nAuthor of liberty,
\nTo Thee we sing;
\nLong may our land be bright
\nWith freedom’s holy light;
\nProtect us by Thy might,
\nGreat God, our King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
