«While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:God Bless America.Land that I loveStand beside her, and guide herThru the night with a light from above.From the mountains, to the prairies,To the oceans, white with foamGod bless AmericaMy home sweet home.God Bless America,Land that I loveStand beside her,And guide her,Through the nightWith the light from above,From the mountains,To the prairies,To the ocean,White with foam,God bless America,My home sweet home.God bless America,My home sweet home.»
«YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark!
