Extracts:

Here, under every grain of earth,
Lie charms of glory

Here, God threw open His doors
And gathered you to Him in fervor.

Here lies a mountain
Legends vie with for relish, and the sun for glow.

Oftentimes seducing its meadows
With carnations and roses,

Oftentimes it plays and seduces
Valor with a toss of dice.
