That the words and music of the song written by Elizabeth Garrett, entitled, “O, Fair New Mexico,” as follows:
Under a sky of azure, where balmy breezes blow; |
Kissed by the golden sunshine, is Nuevo Mejico. |
Home of the Montezuma, with fiery heart aglow, |
State of the deeds historic, is Nuevo Mejico. |
Chorus |
O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so |
Our hearts with pride o'erflow, no matter where we go, |
O, fair New Mexico, we love, we love you so, |
The grandest state to know, New Mexico. |
Second Verse |
Rugged and high sierras, with deep canyons below; |
Dotted with fertile valleys, is Nuevo Mejico. |
Fields full of sweet alfalfa, richest perfumes bestow, |
State of apple blossoms, is Nuevo Mejico. |
Chorus |
Third Verse |
Days that are full of heart-dreams, nights when the moon hangs low; |
Beaming its benediction, o'er Nuevo Mejico. |
Land with its bright manana, coming through weal and woe; |
State of our esperanza, is Nuevo Mejico. |
be and the same are hereby adopted and declared to be the state song for the state of New Mexico.
