My county, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty,--Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died. Land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountain side Let freedom ring. - [Patriotism] Strew the fair garlands where slumber the dead, Ring out the strains like the swell of the sea; Heart-felt the tribute we lay on each bed: Sound o'er the brave the refrain of the free, Sound the refrain of the loyal and free, Visit each sleeper and hallow each bed: Waves the starred banner from sea-coast to sea; Grateful the living and honored the dead. - [Decoration Day] The good of olden times let others state. I think it lucky I was born so late. - [Past] My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrims' pride! From ev'ry mountainside, Let freedom ring! - America, first stanza of song also known as My Country 'Tis of Thee [America : Liberty]
