The Maine state song was adopted in 1937 and is entitled "State of Maine Song" and sometimes referred to as "The Song of Maine." The lyrics were written by Roger Vinton Snow, and the music was composed by Mildred Brown Hill.
The song praises Maine's natural beauty and its people's hard work and resilience. It includes references to Maine's rugged coastline and pine forests, as well as its history as a seafaring state.
Some of the lyrics include:
"State of Maine, proudly we sing To tell your glories to the land and sea 'Tis the beauty of thy skies and of thy shores Ever will our hearts remember;"
"Land of pine, where the hemlock's hue Spreads a charm that's ever new On thy mountains, on thy rolling hills Ever sweetness thrills;"
"Here's a hand to thee, Maine And it cheers thee with its might From the Somerset Hills to Eastport lights, Shines our love of thee, Maine."
The Maine state song is a tribute to the state's natural beauty and its people's strength and resilience, and it remains an important symbol of Maine's identity.
