State Song
"Wyoming"
(no chorus included)
In the far mighty West,
Where the crimson sun seeks
rest,
There's a growing splendid
state that lies above,
On the breast of this great
state,
Where the massive Rockies
stand,
There's Wyoming young and
strong, the state I love!
In the flowers wild and sweet,
Colors rare and perfumes
meet,
There's the columbine so
pure, the daisy too,
Wild the rose and red it
springs,
White the button and it's
rings,
Thou are loyal for their
red and white and blue.
Where thy peaks with crowned
head,
Rising to the sky they wed,
Sit like snow queens ruling
wood and stream and plain,
'Neath thy granite bases
deep,
'Neath thy bosom's broadened
streep,
Lie the riches that have
gained and brought thee fame
Other treasures thou dost
hold,
Men and women thou dost
mould,
True and earnest are the
lives that thou dost raise,
Strengthen thy children
though dost teach,
Nature's truth thou givest
to each,
Free and noble are thy workings
and thy ways.
In the nation's banner free,
There's one star that has
for me,
A radiance pure and splendor
like the sun,
Mine is it, Wyoming's star
Home it leads for me near
or far,
O Wyoming! All my heart
and love you've won!
