Fourth of July ...

Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;

Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.

Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.

(part of The Stars and Stripes Forever, by John Philip Sousa, 1897)
