  • My Country, 'Tis of Thee Introduction
    1 My Country, ’Tis of Thee Introduction Samuel Francis Smith was a twenty-four-year-old Baptist seminary student in Massachusetts when he wrote the lyrics of “America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee),” the patriotic song that would serve as an unofficial national anthem for nearly one-hundred years. In 1831, while studying at Andover Theological Seminary, Smith was asked by composer Lowell Mason to translate some German song books. Inspired by one of the German songs— “God Bless Our Native Land” (set to the tune of “God Save the King”)—Smith set out to write an original patriotic song for America set to the same melody. The result was what Smith called “America” and what would eventually be better known as “My Country, ’Tis of Thee.” The song was first performed on July 4, 1831, by a children’s choir in Boston. Smith’s lyrics invoked the history of America—“Land where my fathers died, / Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride, / From every mountain side / Let freedom ring”—as well as its beauty and sense of itself as a blessed land—“I love thy rocks and rills, / Thy woods and templed hills, / My heart with rapture thrills, / Like that above.” “America” soon took on a life of its own, quickly becoming widely known and well loved, and the song served as an unofficial national anthem until the adoption of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1931. In 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, Smith sent a copy of the song to former US Representative J. Wiley Edmands of Massachusetts.

Someone on the floor recognized him and pointed him out to others. whereupon the clamour quickly subsided as traders ceased their dealing to pay tribute to the old man. Presently out of the wheat pit came the sound of familiar words: My country, 'tis of thee, My native country. thee, Sweet land of liberty. Land of the noble free, Of thee I sing; Thy name I love; Land where my fathers died, I love thy rocks and rills. Land of the pilgrims' pride, Thy woods and templed hills; From every mountainside My heart with rapture thrills Let freedom ring. Like that above. Then the men gave their visitor a tumultuous cheer. The Secretary of the Board escorted him to the floor, where all the members flocked' around him, reaching out eagerly to shake the hand of the 79-year-old· author of 'America'. Then, removing their hats, they sang the rest. of, the hymn.

The Watchman soon has one from me, & Temperance Journals.” In addition to contributing to various newspapers and magazines, Smith, who had taken a Baptist pulpit in Waterville, Maine, and had begun teaching at the local college, was circulating among his parishioners other popular forms of print, including the tracts his family was sending him from Boston.

To Michael Tilghman Stevens, for his support and unwavering commitment. 4 Introduction It is the dawn of the Fourth of July in a small town in Ohio. Although nearly everyone has the day off, people are up early--there is a parade coming. Outside the flag-bedecked homes and the manicured lawns, the driveways are lined with the cars of the many guests who have returned to town for this special day. In front of the houses, horses have arrived in their trailers from outside the city, snorting, impatiently waiting as their owners groom them and decorate their manes with ribbons of red, white, and blue. Cell phone ringtones and the whistles of stray bottle rockets mingle with equine whinnies in an unlikely cacophony, as the aroma of coffee coming through the front screen doors mixes with the smells from the barnyard.
