– 1 – AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL (“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies”) Music written by Samuel A. Ward (1847–1903) Words written by Katharine Lee Bates (1859–1929) Selected stanzas

O beautiful for spacious skies, O beautiful for pilgrim feet For amber waves of grain, Whose stern impassioned stress For purple mountain majesties A thoroughfare for freedom beat Above the fruited plain. Across the wilderness. America! America! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, God mend thine every flaw, And crown thy good with brotherhood Confirm thy soul in self-control, From sea to shining sea. Thy liberty in law.

In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates was a visiting professor of English literature in Colorado College’s Summer Session. Bates and a group of faculty members trav- eled by prairie wagon and mules to the summit of Pikes Peak. There, inspired by the magnificent panorama, the poet conceived the initial verses of “America, the Beautiful.” It was published in 1895 to national acclaim.
