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!
