Past the mountain's crest,
As you journey west
Comes the peaceful rest
of Kansas Plains.
When you take a glance
at her vast expanse
Like a fairy dance
of golden grains.
Whether you travel Northward
Eastward or Westward or Southward
Your thoughts ever turn,
And you'll always yearn
Once more to return
to Kansas Plains.
