O beautiful for Nature's art with river, rock and time
For sandstone bluffs of ancient age we celebrate in rhyme
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Dells! A treasure now, as then!
Your vistas rare cry out for care to every citizen!

We must step lightly in the Dells, and listen for the birds
Let nature touch you; you will find. . . it speaks, but not in words.
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Dells! Respect this special place!
Its history -- and mystery -- require a measured pace.

First Nations fished and hunted here and understood their role
Not masters of all creation, but just part of the whole
Wisconsin Dells! Wisconsin Dells! To keep your nature pure
We all must guard and be steward so beauty will endure.

The ecosystem is a web of creatures, great and small
Sunlight, water, air and soil -- intertwined are all
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Dells! If we pull one strand
We will find unless we mind, results that were not planned.
