He is the founder and Creator of America the beautiful
Breathless by Shayne Ward
It is from the fourth verse of "America, the Beautiful"Music by Samuel Ward, 1882Words by Katharine Lee Bates, 1895O beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tears!America! America!God shed his grace on theeAnd crown thy goodWith brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea!It was first published as a poem in 1895 in "The Congregationalist". The melody was added later. The Ward version of the melody - the one we know today - was already popular around 1910. There were other melodies written for it. Bates amended the lyrics after publication in both 1904 and 1913.It was on an 1893 train trip from Massachusetts to teach a summer session at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that Bates visited the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the "White City", with its promise of the future contained within its alabaster buildings. This inspired the line, "Thine alabaster cities gleam ...".
