Poem 1: "America the Beautiful" by Katherine Lee Bates

2. For amber waves of grain,
3. For purple mountain majesties
4. Above the fruited plain!
5. America! America!
6. God shed His grace on thee
7. And crown thy good with brotherhood
8. From sea to shining sea!

Poem 2: "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman

1. I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear;
2. Those of mechanics--each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
3. The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
4. The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
5. The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat--the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;
6. The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench--the hatter singing as he stands;
7. The wood-cutters song--the ploughboys, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
8. The delicious singing of the mother--or of the young wife at work--or of the girl sewing or washing--Each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
9. The day what belongs to the day--At night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
10. Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.

Poem 3: "The Man Without a Country" by Edward Everett Hale

1. O, a terrible thing is a man without a country!
2. Hes all waves, no rock;
3. All sails, no anchor;
4. All froth, no power;
5. The man for whom the ocean is spread out on all sides,
6. Whose sails whiten every sea, but who never sees an island
7. Or a rocky crag waving a welcome to him, All waves, no rock;
8. All sails, no anchor.

Poem 4: "Ode to Duty" by William Wordsworth

1. Stern Daughter of the Voice of God!
2. O Duty! if that name thou love
3. Who art a light to guide, a rod
4. To check the erring, and reprove;
5. Thou, who art victory and law
6. When empty terrors overawe;
7. From vain temptations dost set free;
8. And calmst the weary strife of frail humanity!
9. Father of her who bore my soul!
10. Guide of my life! thy voice divine
11. Around me night and day shall roll,
12. And in my heart shall ever shine:
13. Tis midnight now. But with the dawn
14. I will pour out my soul in song:
15. Ill praise thy name, and lead the choir
16. With hallelujahs loud, and higher.

Poem 5: "The Sleeping Sentinel" by Francis Miles Finch

1. 　　Up came the sun to the golden west;

   　　

2. 　　From the dawn to day they had marched without rest;

   　　

3. 　　At the brink of the stream they had halted for noon,

   　　

4. 　　And heeded the cannon that sounded from June.

   　　

5. 　　Anon it outrolled from the arcades of night,

   　　

6. 　　The watch-word that guarded the host from affright:

   　　

7. 　　"Alls well!" And they sank on the ground like a stone,

   　　

8. 　　And slept as the dead would sleep, weary and lone.
