| From ClassBrain.com WI State Symbols Oh Wisconsin, Land of My DreamsOfficial State BalladMusic by Shari Sarazin Words by Erma Barrett Adopted in 2001 Note: Interestingly enough, Erma Barrett is Shari Sarazin's grandmother. Erma set music to the poem her grandmother had written way back in the 1920s.
Oh Wisconsin, land of beauty, with your hillsides and your plains, with your jackpine and your birch tree, and your oak of mighty frame. Land of rivers, lakes and valleys, land of warmth and winter snows, land of birds and beasts and humanity, Oh Wisconsin, I love you so. Oh Wisconsin, land of my dreams. Oh Wisconsin, you’re all I’ll ever need. A little heaven here on earth could you be? Oh Wisconsin, land of my dreams. In the summer, golden grain fields; in the winter, drift of white snow; in the springtime, robins singing; in the autumn, flaming colors show. Oh I wonder who could wander, or who could want to drift for long, away from all your beauty, all your sunshine, all your sweet song? Oh Wisconsin, land of my dreams. Oh Wisconsin, you’re all I’ll ever need. A little heaven here on earth could you be? Oh Wisconsin, land of my dreams. Oh Wisconsin, land of my dreams. And when it’s time, let my spirit run free in Wisconsin, land of my dreams. © Copyright 2004 by ClassBrain.com |
