pioneer song (usd alma mater) - university of south dakota lyrics

[verse 1]
south dakota! how dear to thy children thy name
how daring the tales oft’ retold
of thy builders who first to thy wilderness came
their’s a glory that never grows old
oh the pine*crested peaks of the storied black hills
the missouri that ribbons thy plain
where the slant summer sunshine so lavishly spills
over prairie and pasture and grain

[verse 2]
alma mater, how favored the days of our youth
as we came with our dreams to thy shrine
thou hast given us wisdom and visions of truth
that shall live while the tower lights shine
of thy knighthood were they who their sacrifice wore
like a crown through the storm*clouded years
for our high*hearted comrades returning no more
alma mater, our garlands and tears

[verse 3]
alma mater, dakota, we drink thee a health
as we go from thy sheltering walls
younger feet shall come trouping to gather thy wealth
younger voices shall ring through thy halls
keep us true to the type of the brave pioneer
no hardship e’er daunted his quest
alma mater, lead on to the untried frontier
we follow the trail to the west
