Journey

A journey through the crossroads of America. Indiana, a land as diverse as this great country we live in. From the sand dunes of the northern reaches to the flatlands of the central valleys to the hills of the southern counties, never have I seen a country side so diverse and yet so beautiful. Welcome, come stay a spell as we travel these Hoosier Highways...

Indiana

Indiana
God crowned her hills with beauty,
Gave her lakes and winding streams,
Then He edged them all with woodlands
As the settings for our dreams.
Lovely are her moonlit rivers,
Shadowed by the sycamores,
Where the fragrant winds of Summer
Play along the willowed shores.
I must roam those wooded hillsides,
I must heed the native call,
For a Pagan voice within me
Seems to answer to it all.
I must walk where squirrels scamper
Down a rustic old rail fence,
Where a choir of birds is singing
In the woodland...green and dense.
I must learn more of my homeland
For it's paradise to me,
There's no haven quite as peaceful,
There's no place I'd rather be.
Indiana...is a garden
Where the seeds of peace have grown,
Where each tree, and vine, and flower
Has a beauty...all its own.
Lovely are the fields and meadows,
That reach out to hills that rise
Where the dreamy Wabash River
Wanders on...through paradise.

The poem of Arthur Franklin Mapes, Kendallville, Indiana, is hereby adopted as Indiana's official poem.
