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 made 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 |
