O’ To The Yosemite
Land of Tenaya
As the Majesties
Of the Creations
Of our Forces Give
From Where our Spirit Lives.
May Those of Today,
Journey Back to
The Feelings of Peace And of Natural Rhythms
Of the Clouds And of The Seas.
O’ From the Yosemite
Land of Tenaya
Bent to Yield
Forgiveness to
Those Who Tread
Your Gracefulness
Through Your Forests,
Through Your Streams,
Laden with Your Beauty.
O’ To the Yosemite
Land of Tenaya
Reaching Out
To Those Yet to Come.
Hope For This Land-
Your Love Lasting-
Ever Stretched in Beauty,
Your Voice Like a
Soft Breeze in the Rustling Branches
Of Your Heaving Breast,
Babbling Brooks, Splashing Waters of Your Cascades.
Give us Your Peace.
