They tell me there are sunny skies
Above I.al!s's plains,
Which God to all mankind denies,
Except her signing swa ms:
But have seen Iowa's plains,
OF beauties fairest touch,
Where few years since wild Indian trains,
Proclaimed in pride "None Such"
They tell me, too, of Guadelquiyer,
Fer winding meath those suns;
But we can show lovely river,
Whose tide as brightly runs;
And this not the writer's ooin'
Painted bright with fancy's touch,
proof we point to fair Desmoines,
Which speaks itself; "None Such"
They tell me oft of fertile soil,
Along the eastern streams,
That well repays the farmers toll,
And cheers his midnight dreams;
But have gazed DER one broad field
Scarce despeiled of Natures touch,
And said, on seeing her loans yied,
"ln truth, there is none such"
They tell me, too, of natures flowers,
On Europe's a-girt shore,
That ope' beneath their eastern showers,
And deck their landscape o'er,
But have seen the flowers that bloom.
Droop their heads the pTalrie's touch
Dispensing JOY, dispensing gloom;
The east can show "None Such"
Full Oft they tell Of pure, bright springs
Where sparkling waters fiow,
Ger which an ivy-mantle clings,
Fer green meath winters SHOWS,
But here are springs, as cool and bright,
And clearer, pnrer, much,
Than ever blessed Our eastern sight,
For sure they have "None Such"
But e'en they sing Of lonely groves,

Through which the beasts in pleasure rove
