Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gems of Poetry
She has mighty streams and rivers Flowing onward glad and free, Bearing ships upon their bosom, With her products toward the sea.
In her arms she bears a burden, Gleaming rich with Ceres' spoils, Golden sheaves of wheat and plenty From Dakota's virgin soil.
In her hand she brings a chaplet Wreathed with bright and fragrant ?owers, Intertwined with fruits and grasses From Pomona's choicest bowers. Must we then stand ever knocking Patiently outside the gate, Pleading for the home she merits, Must Dakota longer wait?
