O beautiful for Northern skies,
For clover fields and grain,
For plentiness and happy homes
Upon our woodland plain.
Lake of the Woods! Lake of the Woods:
We love the name you bear – –
Symbol of good and brotherhood
And promises so rare.
O beautiful for healthful clime,
For waters pure and clear,
Where fish abound within our lake
And purling streams so dear.
Lake of the Woods: Lake of the Woods!
How can we ask of thee
A fuller life to lay for use
Or for our progeny?
O beautiful for picnic hours
Beneath our lovely trees,
When cares forgot a merry lot
Sends laughter on the breeze.
Lake of the Woods! Lake of the Woods!
Caressed by nature’s hand
For intimate seem earth and sky
O’er all this favored land.
O beautiful for spirit fine
Inside our county’s bound
As on will note aggressiveness
Just everywhere is found.
Lake of the Woods! Lake of the Woods!
We love the name you bear – –
Symbol of good and brotherhood
And promises so rare.
Can be sung to the tune of “America, the Beautiful”
