The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. — Samuel Adams

06 December, 2001: "The forgotten verse..."

By Kathy Kinsley

"America the Beautiful" is our national anthem, despite what the 'official' song may be. The second verse is not often sung, but it does more to show the American attitude than any other in that song. It goes like this:

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
Let us remember that verse. We in the US need to take a long look at ALL the policies of our government. That is not unpatriotic; it is, in fact, the very basis of American patriotism.
