State song• Michigan, My Michigan

Written by: William Otto Miessner & Douglas M. Malloch

• A song to thee, fair State of mine,Michigan, my Michigan;But greater song than this is thine,Michigan, my Michigan;The whisper of the forest tree,The thunder of the inland sea;Unite in one grand symphonyOf Michigan, my Michigan.

• I sing a State of all the best,Michigan, my Michigan;I sing a State with riches blest,Michigan, my Michigan;Thy mines unmask a hidden store,But richer thy historic lore,More great the love thy builders bore,Oh, Michigan, my Michigan.

• How fair the bosom of thy lakes,Michigan, my Michigan;What melody each river makes;Michigan, my Michigan;As to thy lakes the rivers tend,Thy exiled children to thee sendDevotion that shall never end,Oh, Michigan, my Michigan.

• Thou rich in wealth makes a State,Michigan, my Michigan;Thou great in things that make us great,Michigan, my Michigan;Out loyal voices sound thy claimUpon the golden roll of fameOur loyal hands shall write the nameOf Michigan, my Michigan.
