Here are roses, richest roses, Of every hue and shade, And chrysanthemums the grandest Dame Nature ever made; With geraneums, ferns and pansies And palms that premiums draw, While violets fill with fragrance The whole of Arkansas. And the fruit 'tis ripest, richest, And of the rarest hue; While tn apples are the choicest That Adam ever knew, And so plenteous and so perfect They fill the earth with awe Aye all things are the best things Out here in Arkansas. Here are granite mounts, and gold

Nor can they help but know it Sometimes-must be confessed; While the men, are second only To these women. without flaw, Ave. gentlemen still have we Out here in Arkansas.
