3                          HAND OF MICHIGAN

4             God knitted a mitten of wood, rock and lime,

5             Made a foundation to last through all time.

6              He planted his palm with Hemlock and Pine,

7               Then blessed it with rain and sunshine.

8                In all the world there's no other land

9            That God himself patterned from his own hand!
