There are no ghosts in AmericaA
-
-
There are no ghosts you sayB
To haunt her blaze of lightC
No shadows in her dayB
No phantoms in her nightC
Columbus' tattered sailD
Has passed beyond our hailD
-
What On that magic coastE
Where Raleigh fought with fateF
Or where that Devon ghostE
Unbarred the Golden GateF
No dark strange ear ringed menG
Beat in from sea againG
-
No ghosts in Salem townH
With silver buckled shoonH
No lovely witch to drownH
Or burn beneath the moonH
Not even a whiff of teaI
On Boston's glimmering quayI
-
O ghostly Spanish wallsJ
Where brown Franciscans glideK
Is there no voice that callsJ
Across the Great DivideK
To pilgrims on their wayB
Along the Santa FeB
-
Then let your Pullman carsL
Go roaring to the WestM
Till watched by lonelier starsL
The cactus lifts its crestM
There on that painted plainH
One ghost will rise againH
-
Majestic and forlornH
Wreck of a dying raceN
The Red Man half in scornH
Shall raise his haughty faceN
Inscrutable as the skyO
To watch our ghosts go byO
-
What Is earth dreaming stillP
Shall not the night disgorgeQ
The ghosts of Bunker HillP
The ghosts of Valley ForgeQ
Or England's mightiest sonH
The ghost of WashingtonH
-
No ghosts where Lincoln fellR
No ghosts for seeing eyesS
I know an old cracked bellR
Shall make ten million riseS
When one immortal ghostE
Calls to the slumbering hostE
