COLORADO.
(By Chas. d. Glen

tBy Chas. ID. Glenn
You are a nations mecca, Colorado;
A nations heart for you in rapture
beats.
Your scenery, air and water, say the
millions,
Surpass in loveliness Switzer's re
treats.
Your sunshine impregnates the womb
of Nature
With the richest, rarest gems of
Mother Earth.
And with its essence nourishes her
offspring
To manifold, complete and royal birth.
The world is looking at you, Colorado; (;
1t sees your snow-clad mountains from
afar.
Your solitudes no longer are deserted,
Your granite walls no longer prove a
bar.
Awake! Arise! Hold up the stand
ard-Virtue.
In moral purity take manly pride,
And let earth's remote corners train
their vision
On you, their counselor, mecca and
glide.
