Excerpt from Kodaks Thy fertile valleys, thy rolling plains, Teeming with wealth and happy homes, Reaches from main to main. The pilgrim, battling for freedom's right, Planted his banner on thy rocky strand, Bent on his knee and thanked his God Who guided him unto this glorious land. Built he a temple in the forest wild.
