Category Text

There's a wonderful land far out in the West,

Well worthy a visit, my friend;

There, Puritans thought, as the sun went to rest,

Creation itself had an end.

'T is a wild, weird spot on the continent's face,

A wound which is ghastly and red,

Where the savages write the deeds of their race

In blood that they constantly shed.

The graves of the dead the fair prairies deface,

And stamp it the kingdom of dread.
