On the distant Praire where the heather wild.
In itsquitet beauty lived and smiled.
Stands a little Cottage and a creeping vine.
Love’s around its poarchto twine.
Chrus.
Fair as alilley joyous and free.
Lightbof that Prairie home was she.
Every one whoe new her felt the gentle power.
Of Rosa Lee the Prairie flower.
Mrs. Alice Cook.
