POEM OF THE WEEK

AMERICA

by Henry van Dyke

I love thine inland seas,

Thy groves of giant trees,

Thy rolling plains;

Thy rivers' mighty sweep,

Thy mystic canyons deep,

Thy mountains wild and steep,

All thy domains;

Thy silver Eastern strands,

ThyGolden Gatethat stands

Wide to the West;

Thy flowery Southland fair,

Thy sweet and crystal air,

O land beyond compare,

Thee I love best!
