ODE TO THE PIONEERS How dear to my heart are the Pioneer memories The yellow sun-flowers that swayed in the breeze The willow that grew by the stream running gaily Among the wild sage and the cotton-wood trees The oxen were yoked to the plow bright and early, The children assisted in planting the corn, In fancy I feel now the breeze softly blowing, And hear the birds singing today newly born. How peaceful the valley, how purple the mountains How happy the hearts of those brave Pioneers The Father had led them thro' trials and troubles, Thro' wrongs and thro' hard-ships, thro' heartaches and tears. To the mountains he led them and gave of his Wisdom, They planted the seed and the harvest they earned, They toiled and they trusted, His blessing was promised, And faith in their bosoms unceasingly burned. We'll sing of their courage, their faith, their endurance, Our voices we'll raise to the blue arching sky. Our hearts swell with gladness we honor their memory, We love them the more with each year passing by. All honor and glory, stout hearts of our fathers, Toil hardened their hands in the battle for bread What words can express to them our admiration. Dear Pioneer Parents, both living and dead.
