State OF the rugged rocks,
Land of the whispering pines,
We yearn for thee whose light
On green-swathed forests shines.
| Born OF the hardy faith;
Nursed meath thy wstchful eye,
We iourneyed forth prepared for life
With hopes that mounted high.
Years, In the passage Of ne,
Dream that fond memor 6lis,
Turns backward. forgetting the strife,
| Again to thy verdant hills.
| State. which our birthright gave,
Charge us to honor thee well;
Bring US the hope-st the last
Rest, mid thy pine trees spell.
