AMERICA. MY COUNTRY
Jens X. Grondahl

Qn the Red Wing Mimi, Daily Republican,
America, my country, I come at thy call,
plight thee my troth and give thee my ALL
In peace in war am we'd to thy veal,
I'll carry thy flag thru the fire and the steel,
On sea land shall it suffer disgrace,
Unsullied it floats DER peace-loving race,
In reverence kneel at sweet lberty's shrine,
America, my country command, am thine.
America, my country, brave souls gave thee birth,
Who yearned for haven of freedom earth,
And when thy dear flag to the winds unured
There to thy shores the oppressed of the world
Thy milk and thy honey flow freely for ALL
Who takes of thy bounty shall come at thy CALL
Who quaffs of thy nectar of freedom shall say,
America, my country command, obey
America, my country, thy flag adore
1t glores in peace but it fears not in war,
When tyrants would trampe it's folds in the dust,
Old Glory undaunted, is true to it's trust;
Its stars twinkle from libertys dome
message Of hope to mankind, thru the gloom,
And children of men bless the red, white and blue,
America my country, the tried and the true.
America my country, come is thy hour
The Lord of Hosts recks on thy courage and power;
Humanity pleads for the strength of thy hand
Lest liberty perish and on land;
Thou guardian of freedom, thou keeper of right,
When liberty blceds there is task for thy might,
Divine right of kings freedom must fall
America. my country, come at thy call.
(Note-This poem read into The Congressional
Record by Congressman Siege of New York in his
patriotic speech on the day war was declared)
