An Ode to Puget Sound
Carlton Fitchett, ca. 1944

Esperanto Version
A grateful ode to Puget Sound, the land of everything;
I love it from Tulalip to Puyallup, Sequim and Pysht,
And to the Dosewallips where many times I've fished.
There's peace on the Skykomish, on the Queets and on the Hoh,From Brinnon to the Bogachiel, from Lummi to La Push, And from the lordly Sol Duc to lovely Duckabush, From Samish to Sammamish, Suquamish to Quilcene, The climate is so friendly it's a land that's evergreen.
There's calm on the Nisqually, born of ageless ice and snow;
A land that Nature loves so much she stays the whole year 'round —
I'd trade a royal palace for a shack on Puget Sound!
There's Chimacum and Steilacoom, where spouts the geoduck; The singing Stillaguamish and the swirling Skookumchuck And Moclips and Copalis, where the razor clams abound — A little bit of heaven is a shack on Puget Sound.
