If you want to be a Badger, Then come along with us For a panorama of scenic beauty. See our state in autumn, When the birches and the maples are splashed with nature's paints And the chains of lakes and the majestic rivers Are resplendent in their polychromatic huesg In winter, When the pines sparkle with silver hoar-frost And the woodlands and the meadows and the roll- ing hills Lie under a blanket of snow, majestic in their white- nessg In spring, When forest and orchard bud and blossom forth And the patchwork helds and well-kept parks Are freckled with a new growth of plants and grassg In summer, When the streams and The Dells and the Indian I I. l mounds Lure vacationists from every state To ours, where the scenic beauty is great.
