Bonne Terre,

Where each,
And every care,

Rests,



Bonne Terre

Bonne Terre ( Good Earth)


Words by: William B. Burkholder

Bonne Terre,
Bonne Terre,

My cradle,
My grave,

Bonne Terre,
Bonne Terre,

Where each,
And every care,

Rests,

Where I walk,
And listen,

Where I laugh,
And weep,

Along the oceans,
Shore so deep,

Oh,
Bonne Terre,
My mother,
My maker,

Resting in your arms,
Playing in your fields,

Golden grasses,
Revealed,
Inspiration,

Bonne Terre,
I am yours,

Roots firmly set,
Til my harvest,
Is nigh.

Bonne Terre,
Bonne Terre,
Upon mountains high,

Walking with you,
Sunlight gifts,
Moonlit love,

Walk of life,
Bonne Terre.
