AMERICA'S FLOWER SONG, by MARGARET PAXSON FLACK First Line: Wild wayside flowers are we Last Line: Our country thee. Subject(s): Flowers; National Song - United States; American National Anthem | |||
Wild wayside flowers are we, Sweet buds of liberty, In joy we sing. In land of wanderer's pride, Often his way we guide, From every mountainside True joy we bring. Aroma in the breeze, Floating from all the trees -- In odors sweet. Let mortal hearts awake; Let all that breathe partake; And for their joyous sake Our fragrance meet. Our folk, we beg of thee, People of liberty, To leave us free. Long may the land be bright With our glorious sight; Protect us with thy right -- Our country thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICA by MURRAY KETCHAM KIRK NATIONAL SONG by WILLIAM HENRY VENABLE TO WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INVOCATION by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MOTLEY: THE GHOST by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE WITH A COPY OF HERRICK by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE THE BATTLE OF CHARLESTON HARBOR by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 72.
