Peaceful Farms And Noble Cities, Towns And Villages,
Thrilling With The Hum Of Modern Industry And Activity,
Are Spread Over
The vast spaces through which the explorers threaded
their toilsome trail, amid incredible privations and hardships,
showing the way westward
Across the boundless continent which is ours.
Let the names of those two men long be held in grateful honor
by the American people!
