'Round my Indiana homesteads wave the cornfields, In the distance loom the woodlands clear and cool. Oftentimes my thoughts revert to scenes of childhood, Where I first received my lessons, nature's school. But one thing there is missing in the picture, Without her face it seems so incomplete. I long to see my mother in the doorway, As she stood there years ago, her boy to greet. CHORUS: Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash, From the fields there comes the breath of newmown hay. Through the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming, On the banks of the Wabash, far away. Many years have passed since I strolled by the river, Arm in arm, with sweetheart Mary by my side, It was there I tried to tell her that I loved her, It was there I begged of her to be my bride. Long years have passed since I strolled thro' there churchyard. She's sleeping there, my angel, Mary dear, I loved her, but she thought I didn't mean it, Still I'd give my future were she only here.

You asked what land I love the best, Iowa, tis Iowa, The fairest State of all the west, Iowa, O! Iowa, From yonder Misissippi's stream To where Missouri's waters gleam O! fair it is as poet's dream, Iowa, in Iowa. See yonders fields of tasseled corn, Iowa in Iowa, Where plenty fills her golden horn, Iowa in Iowa, See how her wonderous praries shine. To yonder sunset’s purpling line, O! happy land, O! land of mine, Iowa, O! Iowa. And she has maids whose laughing eyes, Iowa, O! Iowa. To him whose loves were Paradise, Iowa, O! Iowa O! happiest fate that e’er was known. Such eyes to shine for one alone, To call such beauty all his own. Iowa, O! Iowa Go read the story of thy past. Iowa, O! Iowa What glorious deeds, what fame thou hast! Iowa, O! Iowa So long as time’s great cycle runs, Or nations weep their fallen ones, Thou’lt not forget thy patriot sons, Iowa, O! Iowa

By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois, O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois, Comes an echo on the breeze. Rustling through the leafy trees, and its mellow tones are these, Illinois, Illinois, And its mellow tones are these, Illinois. From a wilderness of prairies, Illinois, Illinois, Straight thy way and never varies, Illinois, Illinois, Till upon the inland sea, Stands thy great commerical tree, turning all the world to thee, Illinois, Illinois, Turning all the world to thee, Illinois. When you heard your country calling, Illinois, Illinois, Where the shot and shell were falling, Illinois, Illinois, When the Southern host withdrew, Pitting Gray against the Blue, There were none more brave than you, Illinois, Illinois, There were none more brave than you, Illinois. Not without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, Can be writ the nation's glory, Illinois, Illinois, On the record of thy years, Abraham Lincoln's name appears, Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois, Illinois, Grant and Logan, and our tears, Illinois.

Himnusz ([ˈhimnus]; en. "Hymn") is the national anthem of Hungary. It was adopted in 1844 as the de facto (unofficial) anthem of Hungary. The lyrics were written by Ferenc Kölcsey in 1823, and the melody was composed by Ferenc Erkel in 1844.

The title in the original manuscript is "Hymnus" - a Latin word meaning "song of praise". The phonetic transcription "Himnusz" replaced the original Latin spelling over time, so too the word "himnusz" took on the meaning "national anthem". Isten, áldd meg a magyart Jó kedvvel, bőséggel, Nyújts feléje védő kart, Ha küzd ellenséggel; Bal sors akit régen tép, Hozz rá víg esztendőt, Megbűnhődte már e nép A múltat s jövendőt! Őseinket felhozád Kárpát szent bércére, Általad nyert szép hazát Bendegúznak vére. S merre zúgnak habjai Tiszának, Dunának, Árpád hős magzatjai Felvirágozának. Értünk Kunság mezein Ért kalászt lengettél, Tokaj szőlővesszein Nektárt csepegtettél. Zászlónk gyakran plántálád Vad török sáncára, S nyögte Mátyás bús hadát Bécsnek büszke vára.

The "National Anthem of Honduras" (Spanish: Himno Nacional de Honduras) was adopted in 1915. The lyrics were written by Augusto Constantino Coello and the music composed by Carlos Hartling. Tu bandera es un lampo de cielo por un bloque de nieve cruzado y se ven en su fondo sagrado cinco estrellas de pálido azul en tu emblema, que un mar rumoroso con sus ondas bravías escuda, de un volcán tras la cima desnuda hay un astro de nítida luz. India virgen y hermosa dormías de tus mares al canto sonoro, cuando echada en tus cuencas de oro el audaz navegante te hallo y al mirar tu belleza extasiado al influjo ideal de tu encanto la orla azul de tu espléndido manto con un beso de amor consagró. De un país donde el sol se levanta más allá del atlante azulado aquel hombre te había soñado y en tu busca a la mar se lanzó Cuando erguiste la pálida frente en la viva ansiedad de tu anhelo bajo el dombo gentil de tu cielo ya flotaba un extraño pendón. Era inútil que el indio tu amado se aprestara a la lucha con ira porque envuelto en su sangre Lempira en la noche profunda se hundió y de la épica hazaña, en memoria la leyenda tan sólo ha guardado de un sepulcro el lugar ignorado y el severo perfil del peñón. Por tres siglos tus hijos oyeron el mandato imperioso del amo por tres siglos tu inútil reclamo en la atmósfera azul se perdió pero un día de gloria tu oído percibió, poderoso y distante que allá lejos, por sobre el atlante indignado rugía un león Era Francia, la libre, la heroica, que en su sueño de siglos dormida despertaba iracunda a la vida al reclamo viril de Dantón; era Francia que enviaba a la muerte la cabeza del rey consagrado y que alzaba, soberbia a su lado el altar de la Diosa razón. Tú también ¡Oh mi patria! te alzaste de tu sueño servil y profundo; tú también enseñaste al mundo destrozando el infame eslabón. Y en tu suelo bendito, tras la alta cabellera de monte salvaje como un ave de negro plumaje la colonia fugaz se perdió. Por guardar ese emblema divino marcharemos ¡Oh patria! a la muerte; generosa será nuestra suerte si morimos pensando en tu amor. Defendiendo tu santa bandera, y en tus pliegues gloriosos cubiertos, serán muchos, Honduras, tus muertos, pero todos caerán con honor.

"Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" (English: "God Save Emperor Francis", lit. '"God save Francis the Emperor"') was a personal anthem to Francis II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, with lyrics by Lorenz Leopold Haschka and music by Joseph Haydn. It is sometimes called the "Kaiserhymne" (Emperor's Hymn). Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! Lange lebe Franz, der Kaiser, In des Glückes hellstem Glanz! Ihm erblühen Lorbeerreiser, Wo er geht, zum Ehrenkranz! Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! Laß von seiner Fahne Spitzen Strahlen Sieg und Fruchtbarkeit! Laß in seinem Rate Sitzen Weisheit, Klugheit, Redlichkeit; Und mit Seiner Hoheit Blitzen Schalten nur Gerechtigkeit! Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser, Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!

"Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" ("Hawaiʻi's Own") was adopted as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1876. Hawaii became a U.S. state in 1959, and the song was officially adopted as a state symbol in 1967. The melody is reminiscent of "God Save the Queen" and the Prussian anthem "Heil dir im Siegerkranz". "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī" is commonly sung at sporting events in Hawaii, immediately after the U.S. national anthem. (Hawaiian Lyrics) Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, Nānā i kou mōʻī, Kalani aliʻi, Ke aliʻi. Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, Nānā i nā aliʻi, Nā pua muli kou, Nā pōkiʻi. Hawaiʻi ponoʻī, E ka lāhui ē, ʻO kāu hana nui E ui ē. Hui: Makua lani ē, Kamehameha ē, Na kaua e pale, Me ka ihe.

The death of the bachelor King Kamehameha V, who did not name an heir—resulted in the popular election of Lunalilo over Kalākaua. Lunalilo died the next year, also without naming an heir. In 1874, the election was contested within the legislature between Kalākaua and Emma, Queen Consort of Kamehameha IV. After riots broke out, the United States and Britain landed troops on the islands to restore order. Governance passed to the House of Kalākaua. In 1876, shortly after David Kalākaua started his reign as Hawaii’s last king, the Hawaiian anthem was replaced with “Hawaiʻi ponoʻī”, which Kalākaua himself had written the lyrics to; the music was by the royal bandmaster. When the Hawaiian monarchy was replaced with first a republic then with American control, the anthem was abolished. It was a natural choice, however, for a state song after Hawaii became a state in 1959, and was officially decreed as a state symbol in 1967. The last anthem of the Kingdom of Hawaii, now the state song, is still sung at sporting events, after the national anthem.

During the 1780s and 1790s, chiefs often fought for power. After a series of battles that ended in 1795, all inhabited islands were subjugated under a single ruler, who became known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled the kingdom until 1872. After Kamehameha II inherited the throne in 1819, American Protestant missionaries to Hawaii converted many Hawaiians to Christianity. They used their influence to end many traditional practices of the people. The islands' first Christan king was Kamehameha III. Hiram Bingham I, a prominent Protestant missionary, was a trusted adviser to the monarchy during this period. Other missionaries and their descendants became active in commercial and political affairs, leading to conflicts between the monarchy and its restive American subjects. Catholic and Mormon missionaries were also active in the kingdom, but they converted a minority of the Native Hawaiian population. Missionaries from each major group administered to the leper colony at Kalaupapa on Molokaʻi, which was established in 1866 and operated well into the 20th century. The best known were Father Damien and Mother Marianne Cope, both of whom were canonized in the early 21st century as Roman Catholic saints. The Kingdom of Hawaii, established at the beginning of the 19th century, at first did not have a national anthem, and used the melody of the British “God Save the King”. In 1860, the melody of “God Save the King” was still used, but words by Prince (later King) Lunalilo were written as the result of a contest held in the islands to write Hawaiian lyrics for the tune, the work was titled “E Ola Ke Alii Ke Akua” (God Save the King) and these lyrics were used until 1866. In that year, the king had mentioned that Hawaii lacks a Hawaiian tune for their national anthem, as they were still using that of the United Kingdom. Lydia Kamakaʻeha Dominis, a member of the royal family with a keen interest in music composition, composed “He Mele Lāhui Hawaiʻi” as a result. Kamakaʻeha Dominis was later the last Hawaiian monarch, reigning as Queen Liliʻuokalani from 1891 to 1893. (Hawaiian Lyrics) Ka Makua mana loa Maliu mai iā mākou E hāliu aku nei Me ka naʻau haʻahaʻa E mau ka maluhia O nei pae ʻāina Mai Hawaiʻi a Niʻihau Ma lalo o kou malu Chorus: E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina Ma kou pono mau A ma kou mana nui E ola e ola ka mōʻī E ka haku mālama mai I ko mākou nei mōʻī E mau kona noho ʻana Maluna o ka noho aliʻi Hāʻawi mai i ke aloha Maloko a kona naʻau A ma kou ahonui E ola e ola ka mōʻī Hoʻoho e mau ke Chorus: Ma lalo o kou aloha nui Nā Liʻi o ke Aupuni Me nā makaʻāinana Ka lehulehu nō a pau Kiaʻi mai iā lākou Me ke aloha ahonui E ola nō mākou I kou mana mau E mau ke ea Chorus: (English Lyrics) 1. Almighty Father bend thine ear And listen to a nation’s prayer That lowly bows before thy throne And seeks thy fostering care Grant your peace throughout the land Over these sunny sea girt isles Keep the nation’s life, oh Lord, And on our sovereign smile Chorus: Grant your peace throughout the land Over these sunny isles Keep the nations life, oh Lord And upon our sovereign smile Guard him with your tender care Give him length of years to reign On the throne his fathers won Bless the nation once again Give the king your loving grace And with wisdom from on high Prosperous lead his people on As beneath your watchful eye Grant your peace throughout the land Chorus: Bless O Lord our country’s chiefs Grant them wisdom so to live That our people may be saved And to You the glory give Watch over us day by day King and people with your love For our hope is all in You Bless us, You who reign above Grant your peace throughout the land Chorus:

Zage nicht, Erdensohn, wenn schwarz die Wolken droh’n, Gott hält auf seinem Thron Waag und Gewicht Er führt alles aus, schützt unser Welfenhaus mit mächt’gem Arm. Eintracht ist Gottes Band: König und Vaterland reichen sich Herz und Hand heilig und warm.

The Duvalier dynasty (French: Dynastie des Duvalier, Haitian Creole: Dinasti Duvalier) was an autocratic family dictatorship in Haiti that lasted almost twenty-nine years, from 1957 until 1986, spanning the rule of the father-and-son duo François and Jean-Claude Duvalier. On 14 June 1964, following a constitutional referendum, Duvalier declared himself President-for-Life and changed the color of the national flag and arms from red and blue to red and black.

The national anthem of Guatemala was adopted in 1896 as the winning entry in a competition held by the government.
