Wandering children of Kansas away… Come home tonight.
Featured image from the cover of Kansas day; containing a brief history of Kansas, and a collection by Kansas authors (F. H Barrington, 1892)
Wandering children of Kansas away, By mountain, by desert, or sea, Feasting or fasting, at prayer or at play, Whatever your fortunes may be, Open the doors of your hearts to the breeze, Prairie wind never are still, Hark to the surf in the cottonwood trees, The breakers that boom on the hill. Open your soul’s windows–let in the sun– The prairie sun gay with delight. Where’er your wandering pathways have run, Come home tonight.
