love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"He spoke.And drank rapidly a glass of water

first commenter doesn't get it. cummings isnt trying to show patriotism and pride. look at how little sense the speech at the beginning makes! he is saying those who spout off about patriotism are in the wrong, don't understand, cummings is a pacifist and disgusted by how the politicians and orators of his country talk up the war. cummings uses irony: he can see that the voice of liberty /is/ mute.

this poem is a satire on both the cliche spouting patriotism and the gullibility of audiences, it coments on the cliches mouthed by politicians during election time

:. I like how many people misinterpret this poem. I have had many people read it and some of them have even commented on the patriotism of e Cummings. This poem brilliantly combines [at the beginning] a sense of patriotism and pride but [at the end] shows us how foolish we are for ignoring the down side of war. Patriotism isn't all it is cracked up to be.
