Reach upward till heaven and

Know ye the hills whose precious

Up to the suns warm light;
Whose rivers sands with shining
store
Are glinting clear and bright
Whose mountains crowned with
grey cliffs boar
Up-piled in massive might.
Know ye that far off land
With carpet of sage and sea of
sand,
Whose whimpling streamlets, like
silver bands,
Reach down from the mount ains
as fairy hands,
Through the dark green, where fir
trees stands
Singing low and sweet DER the
sparkling sands'
Know ye the land of buried wealth,
+ Whose streams are fed by eternal
snow?
Know ye the land of perfect health,
The land of the west-FAIR IDA

And the blood leaps up with glad

Up eastern slopes their banners
