| About the joys the woods do bring | A |

| Do think prairie farms the best | B |
| For those poor men who swing the axe | C |
| On their strength 'tis a heavy tax | C |
| For several years they naught can grow | D |
| While from the first we plow and sow | E |

| And where wild Buffalo now doth feed | G |
| There very soon they'll sow the seed | G |
| Where Indian wigwams now do stand | H |
| Will be the site of cities grand | H |
| And where the deer and wolf doth roam | I |
| Millions will build each happy home | I |
| So quick as if by magic wand | J |
| They will arise o'er the whole land | H |
| But this one fact we won't deny | K |
| Ontario she can supply | K |
| For so skilfully she doth invent | L |
| Each agricultural implement | M |
