Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGEE HHBB IICC JJBB| Into the rose gold westland its yellow prairies roll | A |
| World of the bison's freedom home of the Indian's soul | A |
| Roll out O seas in sunlight bathed | B |
| Your plains wind tossed and grass enswathed | B |
| - | |
| Farther than vision ranges farther than eagles fly | C |
| Stretches the land of beauty arches the perfect sky | C |
| Hemm'd through the purple mists afar | D |
| By peaks that gleam like star on star | D |
| - | |
| Fringing the prairie billows fretting horizon's line | E |
| Darkly green are slumb'ring wildernesses of pine | E |
| Sleeping until the zephyrs throng | F |
| To kiss their silence into song | F |
| - | |
| Whispers freighted with odour swinging into the air | G |
| Russet needles as censers swing to an altar where | G |
| The angels' songs are less divine | E |
| Than duo sung twixt breeze and pine | E |
| - | |
| Laughing into the forest dimples a mountain stream | H |
| Pure as the airs above it soft as a summer dream | H |
| O Lethean spring thou'rt only found | B |
| Within this ideal hunting ground | B |
| - | |
| Surely the great Hereafter cannot be more than this | I |
| Surely we'll see that country after Time's farewell kiss | I |
| Who would his lovely faith condole | C |
| Who envies not the Red skin's soul | C |
| - | |
| Sailing into the cloud land sailing into the sun | J |
| Into the crimson portals ajar when life is done | J |
| O dear dead race my spirit too | B |
| Would fain sail westward unto you | B |
