Hail, Vermont

"Hail, Vermont!" is the Official Vermont State Song and the answer to a previous Trivia Contest. It was written by Josephine Hovey Perry of Barre, Vermont and was officially named in 1938.

Hail, Vermont !
Hail to Vermont ! Lovely Vermont ! Hail to Vermont so fearless !
Sing we a song ! Sing loud and long ! To our little state so peerless !
Green are her hills, Clear are her rills, Fair are her lakes and rivers and valleys;
Blue are her skies, Peaceful she lies, But when roused to a call she speedily rallies.

Chorus:
Hail to Vermont ! Dear old Vermont ! Our love for you is great.
We cherish your name, We laud ! We acclaim ! Our own Green Mountain State.

Proud of Vermont, Lovely Vermont, Proud of her charm and her beauty;
Proud of her name, Proud of her fame, We're proud of her sense of duty;
Proud of her past, Proud first and last, Proud of her lands and proud of her waters;
Her men are true. Her women, too. We're proud of her sons and proud of her daughters.

Chorus:
Hail to Vermont ! Dear old Vermont ! Our love for you is great.
We cherish your name, We laud ! We acclaim ! Our own Green Mountain State.
