And the fame of North Dakota’s name

Shall rise,

Like the never-tiring Phœnix

To the skies!—

State of promise and of fair play,

State where rises bright a new day

For the weak and the oppressed,

State which millions shall call blest!

Men and women of Dakota

Who shall say

What the fruitage of our efforts

Of to-day?—

Labor then, nor lose the vision

Of this North Dakota’s mission,

To free body, soul, and mind,

To help all their true work find.
