I love that verse. My 5th grade teacher made us memorize and sing it whenever we sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and I will always thank her for it.

We had to memorize all the verses of America the Beautiful - and I've often thought how different the decisions of some members of the judiciary might be if these lines were more commonly known:

"America! America! God mend thine every flaw, / Confirm thy soul in self-control, / Thy liberty in law!"

Powerful!
