Aldon Harness OF Roseburg, writes

Higher than the clouds OF heaven
Thy lofty mountains rear,
To thy forests vast is given
A grandeur wild and drear,
And from dark and silent alleys
Thy many stTeamlets run,
Thro' broad fields aud pleasant valleys,
oh, fair, sweet Oregon
In sweet freedom thousands settle
Upon thy lovely shore,
And thy climate mild and gentle
They cherish more aud more.
On thy land In golden glory,
HATH risen fortunes sun
Great shall be thy future story,
Oh, fair, sweet Oregon
Fast the farmer now encumbers
And tills tiny ferJile land;
Where buffalOes roamed IN numbers
I Large towns and cities stand.
While In peace aud freedom DER thee
Eternal years roll on,
With his blessings God shall store thee
Oh, fair, sweet Oregon
