Excerpt from Oklahoma, and Other Poems Oklahoma. Oklahoma! Oklahoma! Land, O, land of the Fair God, Land where ancient, savage races Through barbarian ages trod! Through thy story fancy traces Facts above what fictions say, Where the world with haste advances, Born are nations in a day! Where the wigwam stood so lonely, Lordly cities rise in might; Where spread desert wildness only, Fertile farms and homes delight. Thou hast summoned to thy bosom From the ends of all the earth, All the youngest, strongest, bravest, Full of will and wondrous worth. O'er thy valleys grow the blossoms Culled from earth's remotest sod; Oklahoma! Oklahoma! Land, O, Land of the Fair God! Oklahoma! Oklahoma! There is music in thy name, There is gladness in thy glory, There is fondness in thy fame! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
