Thread Name: new verse: America, the Beautiful
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: America, the Beautiful
I found the other new verse. It is in a thread entitled:

New Songs for 9-11-01

From: ScottyG
Date: 15-Sep-01 - 11:04 PM

Oh beautiful for fierce resolve against a cruel foe,
Those callous men with hate-filled hearts,
God's wrath they soon shall know!
America! America! The world will stand with thee,
In your brave fight for Mankind's right
To peace and liberty.

Scott also tells , in that thread, how he came to compose the verse spontaneously.

When I went back and found that thread, I realized that in writing mine, I had unconsciously 'piggybacked' on Scott's verse (in the use of the word, "resolve," for instance). Anyway, it's a good idea to add that verse to this thread, too.
