My Land.

Topics: classic

I.     She is a rich and rare land;     Oh! she's a fresh and fair land;     She is a dear and rare land--     This native land of mine. II.     No men than her's are braver--     Her women's hearts ne'er waver;     I'd freely die to save her,     And think my lot divine. III.     She's not a dull or cold land;     No! she's a warm and bold land;     Oh! she's a true and old land--     This native land of mine. IV.     Could beauty ever guard her,     And virtue still reward her,     No foe would cross her border--     No friend within it pine! V.     Oh! she's a fresh and fair land;     Oh! she's a true and rare land;     Yes! she's a rare and fair land--     This native land of mine.
