Flowers Courtesy 01 Ozark Nursery NORTHEASTERN --.- Oklahoma's hills stand stately sentinel To a lovely castle Redmen built; Rippling waters playa lullaby forever, As the phantom warriors chant their lilt. At the sound of magic word Northeastern
We who wear your colors white and green, Sing our song of love to you, Alma Mater, For your glories we and all have seen. Redmen hills bring back the echo, Northeastern, yours and mine, Unto you a race has given this heritage, Northeastern, may we always keep you enshrined Northeastern, yours and mine.
