Kansas Canto II ONG years after Coronado Made his journey into Kansas, Came the pioneers and soldiers Bearing civilization farther To the westward-and in bearing, Shaped and molded all the prairies Into pictures worth the toiling. Cabins rose as if by magic, Fields of grain supplanted grasses, Children's laughter rang where only Solitude had dwelt forever. Droughts and floods and fires ran swiftly Over homes and hopeful harvests, But the settlers, stubborn tillers Of the vast, prolific prairies, Fought back elements of nature, Prayed to God-and struggled onward, And their government was founded On the prairies' lasting motto: Freedom in its largest measure. Thus was founded in the Union And preserved by love, not fate, Handed down to hands awaiting, Glorious, mighty Kansas State.
