I.

SHE is a rich and rare land;
Oh! she's a fresh and fair land;
She is a dear and rare land --
This native land of mine.

II.

No men than her's are braver --
Her women's hearts ne'er waver
I'd freely die to save her,
And think my lot divine.

III.

She's not a dull or cold land;
No! she's a warm and bold land;
Oh! she's a true and old land --
This native land of mine.

IV.

Could beauty ever guard her,
And virtue still reward her,
No foe would cross her border --
No friend within it pine!

V.

Oh, she's a fresh and fair land;
Oh, she's a true and rare land!
Yes, she's a rare and fair land --
This native land of mine.
