America the Beautiful
Spacious skies song
America the Beautiful" is a patriotic American song, with lyrics by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A.
Ward.
Written in 1893 after Bates visited Pikes Peak, it celebrates American landscapes and ideals: O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain.
The song is sometimes proposed as an alternative national anthem, valued for its gentler tone compared to "The Star-Spangled Banner.
