A Dream Land Complete
Dreaming, I pictured a wonderful valley,
A home making valley few known could compare;
When lo! from the bluffs to the north of Wood River
I saw my dream picture-my valley lies there.
Miles long, east and west, stetched this wonderful valley
Broad fields of alfalfa, of corn, and of wheat
'Mid orchards and groves the homes of its people;
the vale of Wood River, a dream-land complete.
Nebraska, our mother, we love and adore thee;
Within thy fair borders our lot has been cast.
When done with life's labors and trails and
pleasures.
Contented we'll rest in thy bosom at last.
