_Your Country And Mine_

Sing of America, sing of our Country! Land of two oceans, of palm-tree and pine! Firm as the rock of her towering mountains, Free as her rivers from Heaven-born fountains, Unafraid as her eagle,--as true to the line; Sing of our Country,--your Country and mine! Sing of America,--self-governed Country! Dear Land, thou to tyranny never wilt bow; Ever with thee the oppressed have had haven; While Freedom droops, thy true sons are not craven; Look! They are fighting to honor thee now, With Victory and Peace to bejewel thy brow. Sing of America,--loving humanity! "Avenge ye the slaughtered!" Heed ye her decree; Ye who have reaped of the father's brave sowing, High hold your flag when the war winds are blowing! Safe for all men keep the path of the sea; Secure in their rights help small Nations to be. Fight for America, noble America! Liberty, Justice, and Truth--the divine,-- Carrying onward,--her lamp proudly burning-- Craving no empire, intrigue ever spurning, Over the Earth shall her beacon-light shine! Fight for our Country, your Country and mine!
