HOME-BOUND
THE moon is a wavering rim where one fish

slips,
The water makes a quietness of sound;
Night is an anchoring of many
ships
Home-bound.
There are strange tunnelers in the dark, and whirs
Of wings that die,
and hairy spiders spin
The silence into nets, and tenanters
Move
softly in.
I step on shadows riding through the grass,
And feel the night lean
cool against my face;
And challenged by the sentinel of space,
I
pass.
JOSEPH AUSLANDE
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
O BEAUTIFUL for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For
purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America!
America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with
brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Those 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!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than
self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America!
America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,

And every gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine
alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His
grace on thee
And crown thy good with
