MAINE.
 
I love the dear old state of Maine,
Its mountains, streams and hills;
And above all the slender pine
That grows upon the hill.
 
I love to hear the legends
Which cluster about thy name;
And the history of the past
Which has given thee much fame.
 
I love thee, Maine, My Native State,
The State which gave me birth,
And all thy children, too,
Who sit around thy hearth.
 
I love thy beauty, dear old Maine,
Thy rockbound coast, and briny sea;
All that charms and fascinates;
'Tis surely very dear to me.
 
CHORUS.
 
We will sing thy praises, Maine,
From Aroostook to Casco Bay;
All hail to thee, my dear old State,
On this glad centennial day.
 
-Victoria Aurora Magnusson.
 
Gorham, Me., June 1, 1920.
