Sound her praises far and wide,
From hilltop and mountain-side.
Send the message through the nation,
Names the place to spend vacation"
Names broad rivers seek the sea;
Countless lakes crown vale and lea;
How their sparkling waters glisten
AS folks raise their heads to listen
TO the voice that tells the nation,
Names the place to spend vacation
High her mountains heavenward rise;
Lift their tops to kiss the skies;
Mt. Katahdin's hoary crest
Loftier far than all the rest,
From it's height calls to the nation,
Come to Maine to spend vacation"

OF myriad bays she well may. boast;
Sea-girt isles give cool retreat
From cities scorching, summer heat.

She can make men see the need,
OF sweet rest and recreation.
And from work full relaxation
She can say to all the nation

Up and down the state Well go,
Bear her motto. DIR1GO,
While we cry to all the nation
