..into silence, soft as time, drifting out for years,
summers distant as the moon send their winds to calm your fears.
purple mountain majesties, amber waves of grain,
quiet folk of quiet land, sad but patient, free but tame.
and the eyes of the graves are weeping
for the wise and the brave are sleeping still

none who speak of discontent, none who curse of war.
poets praising elder days, chant the rimes of ancient lore.
beautiful for patriot's dream, honor and obey.
white and free, assemble all, each to worship in his way.
hush now, for slumber waits you. warm breezes insulate you.
sweet summer wines create your dreams
