KANSAS (2) by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP

First Line: GIVE ME THE LAND WHERE MILES OF WHEAT
Last Line: LET ME LIVE AND LET ME DIE.
Subject(s): CREATIVE ABILITY; KANSAS; NATURE; WHEAT; INSPIRATION; CREATIVITY;

GIVE me the land where miles of wheat
Ripple beneath the wind's light feet,
Where the green armies of the corn
Sway in the first sweet breath of morn;
Give me the large and liberal land
Of the open heart and the generous hand.
Under the widespread Kansas sky
Let me live and let me die.
