State Anthem of Colorado - Where the Columbines Grow (Instrumental)

Where the Columbines Grow is one of the two official state songs of Colorado.
It was written and composed by Dr. Arthur John Fynn in 1911, and was adopted in 1915.

Where the snowy peaks gleam in the moonlight,
above the dark forests of pine,
And the wild foaming waters dash onward,
toward lands where the tropic stars shine;
Where the scream of the bold mountain eagle,
responds to the notes of the dove
Is the purple robed West, the land that is best,
the pioneer land that we love.

CHORUS:
Tis the land where the columbines grow,
Overlooking the plains far below,
While the cool summer breeze in the evergreen trees
Softly sings where the columbines grow.
