OKLAHOMA by ELIZABETH WILLIAMS COSGROVE

First Line: OKLAHOMA WEARS A CROWN OF DIAMONDS IN HER BLUE-BLACK HAIR
Last Line: HE WEARS HIS NEW STORE-CLOTHES WITH A COWBOY SWAGGER.
Subject(s): OKLAHOMA;
Oklahoma wears a crown of diamonds in her blue-black hair;
From underneath the purple velvet of her trailing gown
Peeps a beaded moccasin.
Oklahoma is a lusty youngster with hip-boots and jaunty sombrero;
He wears his new store-clothes with a cowboy swagger.
