All hail to Vinnie Ream! / Wisconsin's artist daughter, / Who stands to-day crowned with the fame / Her noble work has brought her. / Lift up your brows, hills of the West, / And tell the winds the story, / How she, our fairest, and our best, / Has climbed the heights of glory.
Three cheers for Vinnie Ream! / Who fought with tribulation, / And brought from death, to lasting life, / The martyr of our Nation. / Oh, Spite and Envy, flee in shame! / And hide your head, black Malice! / She sips, to-day, the sweets of Fame, / From Fame's emblazoned chalice.
