"Our Delaware, our Delaware,

State of our pride and birth,

Thy sturdy sons, thy daughters fair,

Love thee o'er all the earth;

We love thy hills, thy winding streams,

Thy fertile fields and skies;

We love the memory of thy past,

Thy future we will prize.

Delaware, Delaware,

Our home, our native land,

Delaware, Delaware,

The land we understand;

Delaware, Delaware,

Thy sons and daughters stand,

Ready with might and pen to write

Thy name across the land."
