God Bless America (A Villanelle)

Home of the brave, of thee we sing,
always a haven for the  free,
where pealing bells for freedom ring

The fields of color in the spring
will reach from sea to shining sea.
Home of the brave, of thee we sing

Majestic elk, birds on the wing,
with rows of flowers, bush and tree,
where pealing bells for freedom ring

A view of rainbow’s color string,
blue skies and snow-white clouds we see.
Home of the brave, of thee we sing

The song birds, eagles on the wing,
the myriad creatures of the sea,
where pealing bells for freedom ring

The freshness that light rain will bring
adds greenness to the grassy lea
Land of the brave, of thee we sing,
where pealing bells for freedom rings
