Do you know where the sun shines brightest
Out in the golden west;
Do you know where the snow falls whitest
The land that I love the best;
Do you know where the skies are bluest
Bending above the plain;
Do you know where the hearts are truest
Bidding you come again?
Do you know where the flowers are fairest
Crimson, purple and gold;
Do you know where the fruits are rarest
Bestowing a wealth untold;
Do you know where the birds sing sweetest
Ever along the way,
Bespeaking a joy the completest
Caroling all the day?
Do you know where the waving sunflower
Nods to the passer by;
Do you know where the prairie sunset
Flames over earth and sky;
Do you know—but ah, you have guessed it
And do not need to be told;
'Tis Kansas! your eyes have expressed it,
The land that will never grow old.
