Near the shores of old Lake Erie
Stands our Alma Mater true.
Fredonia State we proudly honor,
With its colors white and blue.
Sing its glory and its praises
Let them ring forever true.
Beloved is our Alma Mater.
Fredonia State, all hail to thee. (Revised version uses "you")

Famous quotes containing the words shores and/or lake:
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
