KANSAS GOLD.
Ny Kansas. oh my Kansas,
love your drifted SHOWS
Your sweet and sudden springtime,
When the balmY chinook blows.
Queen of the wide prairies
Where mighty winds are borns
Your sceptre is the sunfiOwer.
Your throne the yellow corn.
I've searched for shining nuggets
In lands beyond the sea
But the gold that grows in Kansas
Is the only gold fer me.
1t feeds the countless cattle
That range her rolling plains,
1t gives her sons and daughters
Their beauty and their brains.

A pleasant tale they tell
OF bowls of hasty pudding.
And samp and milk as well,
When all the ears are garnered
In bags of fragrant meal,
And frost has scared the stubble,
And turned the lakes to steel
Behold the allied forces
OF Kansas marching by.
With banners green and silken,
And plumes against .he sky.
With shields all bronze and golden
And tassels proudly worn,
A vast and peaceful army.
The sunfOWer and the corn.
