Near Oceans gate in love doth wait
Thy arms to welcome home;

Thy sailors homeward come.
How -throbs yearn
For tides that turn
Tow'rd island shore, near Ocean s
gate!
Thy green hills tower, they symbol
power.
O'erlooking foreign land,
Though bastion's glover is here a
flower
And trees as soldiers stand.
All peace still hedge
Our nations edge
While thou doth watch the days last
hour!
| love each tree, | hail with glee
Thy every pebbled beach.
Ny spirit free doth learn of thee
What leaves and birds may teach.
o rule our shore,
Forever more,
Fair Orcas, Queen of Sunset Sea.
