Aroused the martial flame | B |
That filled with smiles | C |
The triune Isles | C |
Through all their heights of fame | B |
With hearts as brave as theirs | D |
With hopes as strong and high | E |
We'll ne'er disgrace | F |
The honoured race | F |
Whose deeds can never die | E |
Let but the rash intruder dare | G |
To touch our darling strand | H |

That thrilled our sires | A |
Would flame throughout the land | H |

Our lakes are deep and wide | J |
Our fields and forests broad | K |
With cheerful air | G |
We'll speed the share | G |
And break the fruitful sod | L |
Till blest with rural peace | M |
Proud of our rustic toil | N |
On hill and plain | O |
True kings we'll reign | O |
The victors of the soil | N |

And torrents strong | Q |
Fling hymn and song | Q |
Through all the mossy vales | P |
Our sons are living men | R |
Our daughters fond and fair | G |
A thousand isles | C |
Where Plenty smiles | C |
Make glad the brow of Care | G |
But let the rash intruder dare | G |
To touch our darling strand | H |
The martial fires | I |
That thrilled our sires | A |
Would flame throughout the land | H |

And if in future years | S |
One wretch should turn and fly | E |
Let weeping Fame | B |
Blot out his name | B |
From Freedom's hallowed sky | E |
Or should our sons e'er prove | T |
A coward traitor race | F |
Just heaven frown | U |
In thunder down | U |
T' avenge the foul disgrace | F |
- | |
But let the rash intruder dare | G |
To touch our darling strand | H |
The martial fires | I |
That thrilled our sires | A |
Would light him from the land | H |
