"We are proud of Kansas, the beautiful queen,
And proud are we of her fields of corn;
But a nobler pride than these I ween,
Is our pride in her children, Kansas born!''
And proud are we of her fields of corn;
But a nobler pride than these I ween,
Is our pride in her children, Kansas born!''
—Ellen P. Allerton—
—Or adopted. In this galaxy of bright women, the State has a noble pride for every name, be its owner Kansas born or adopted, is a mightier force for good than its "walls of corn.''
