Really I ought to write a line
About this Minnesota clime;
The breeze from off the lake and pine,
Is truly wonderful and fine.
There's something soothing in the air,
You soon forget you had a care.
The fish are really good to eat
And berries are a splendid treat.
For pleasure, take a boat and row,
No difference which way, so you go
And watch the waves go gliding by
And hear the loon give out his cry --
The sunset is a wondrous sight,
Reflecting on the water bright;
Only dreams can vision gorgeous hues
Of orange, purple, red and blue.
