Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Halifax sits on her hills by the sea | A |
| In the might of her pride | B |
| Invincible terrible beautiful she | A |
| With a sword at her side | B |
| - | |
| To right and to left of her battlements rear | C |
| And fortresses frown | D |
| While she sits on her throne without favour or fear | C |
| With her cannon as crown | D |

| Coast guard and sentinel watch of the weal | E |
| Of a nation she keeps | F |
| But her hand is encased in a gauntlet of steel | E |
| And her thunder but sleeps | F |
