 The Land of the Lakes. (Tune, "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." Pat's Pick, page 70.) l Sharp

O land of the laVe-circled border, O land of the whispering pine, We view thy attractions in order, What wealth and what beauties are thine I Where lake clasps with lake to enfold thee, What a picture of beauty it makes, How our hearts thrill with joy to behold thee, Three cheers for the land of the lakes! Three cheers for the land of Three cheers for the land of How our hearts thrill with joy Three cheers for the land of

the lakes! the lakes! to behold thee, the lakes!

O peninsula, of beauty the rarest! We look and behold it in thee. O Michigan, dearest and fairest, What people more favored than we, With Superior's rock pictures, olden, And the isle that of magic partakes, And thy broad fields of grain waving golden, O beautiful land of the lakes! O beautiful land of the lakes I O beautiful land of the lakes! With thy broad fields of grain waving golden, O beautiful land of the lakes! Thy children will love thee forever, Thy sons and thy daughters are true, We love every forest and river, Each lake that reflects heaven's blue,
