| - | |
| In responding to the sentiment 'Canada our Home ' | - |
| perhaps it would be appropriate to point out the prominent | C |
| and distinguishing characteristics between the land of our | D |
| nativity and the land of our adoption In this Canada of ours | E |
| we have no bonny blooming heath no banks and braes covered | F |
| o'er with daisies and gowans no fragrant hedges showering | G |
| down white spray in the May time no whin and broom | H |
| prodigal in their gayety of yellow flowers no hills | I |
| nor glens where fairies gambol in pleasent and harmless sport | J |
| no grand ruins of ancient cathedrals and castles no feathered | F |
| songsters like the mavis and blackbird | F |
| - | |
| Full oft we did enraptured hark | K |
| To heavenly song of the sky lark | K |
| - | |
| But Canada is a young giant in its infancy With the noblest chain | L |
| of lakes in the world on its frontier and the most magnificent river | D |
| the St Lawrence this land also possesses the largest fertile | M |
| wilderness on the globe but it is one which will o'er many years | N |
| have passed away blossom like a garden and where naught but | O |
| grass and flowers now grow in wild luxuriance soon the | P |
| husbandman will plow and sow and reap a rich reward in yellow | Q |
| golden grain | L |
