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:
“By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
