My Country

My Country

When mind and heart assure She is right,
I join the chorus with pride and might.
When self-same sense insists she is wrong,
I lament lost virtue loud and long.

For a single blessing such as this,
I lift my voice and in full-throated song
with each free babe to be born
to every woman and man 
and together we shall sing, 
Amen.
