O fortress city bathed by streams	A
Majestic as thy memories great	B
Where mountains floods and forests mate	B
The grandeur of the glorious dreams	A
Born of the hero hearts who died	C
In founding here an Empire's pride	C
Prosperity attend thy fate	B
And happiness in thee abide	C
Pair Canada's strong tower and gate	B
	-
May Envy that against thy might	D
Dashed hostile hosts to surge and break	E
Bring Commerce emulous to make	E
Thy people share her fruitful fight	D
In filling argosies with store	F
Of grain and timber and each ore	F
And all a continent can shake	E
Into thy lap till more and more	F
Thy praise in distant worlds awake	E
	-
Who hath not known delight whose feet	G
Have paced thy streets or terrace way	H
From rampart sod or bastion grey	H
Hath marked thy sea like river greet	G
	-
The bright and peopled banks which shine	I
In front of the far mountain's line	I
Thy glittering roofs below the play	H
Of currents where the ships entwine	I
Their spars or laden pass away	H
	-
As we who joyously once rode	J
Past guarded gates to trumpet sound	K
Along the devious ways that wound	K
O'er drawbridges through moats and showed	J
The vast St Lawrence flowing belt	L
The Orleans Isle and sea ward melt	L
Then by old walls with cannon crowned	K
Down stair like streets to where we felt	L
The salt winds blown o'er meadow ground	K
	-
Where flows the Charles past wharf and dock	M
And Learning from Laval looks down	N
And quiet convents grace the town	N
There swift to meet the battle shock	M
Montcalm rushed on and eddying back	O
Red slaughter marked the bridge's track	O
See now the shores with lumber brown	N
And girt with happy lands which lack	O
No loveliness of Summer's crown	N
	-
Quaint hamlet alleys border filled	P
With purple lilacs poplars tall	Q
Where flits the yellow bird and fall	Q
The deep eave shadows There when tilled	P
The peasant's field or garden bed	P
He rests content if o'er his head	P
From silver spires the church bells call	Q
To gorgeous shrines and prayers that gild	P
The simple hopes and lives of all	Q
	-
Winter is mocked by garbs of green	R
Worn by the copses flaked with snow	S
White spikes and balls of bloom that blow	S
In hedgerows deep and cattle seen	R
In meadows spangled thick with gold	P
And globes where lovers' fates are told	P
Around the red doored houses low	S
While rising o'er them fold on fold	P
The distant hills in azure glow	S
	-
Oft in the woods we long delayed	P
When hours were minutes all too brief	T
For Nature knew no sound of grief	T
But overhead the breezes played	P
And in the dank grass at our knee	U
Shone pearls of our green forest sea	U
The star white flowers of triple leaf	T
Which love around the brooks to be	U
Within the birch and maple shade	P
	-
At times we passed some fairy mere	V
Embosomed in the leafy screen	R
And streaked with tints of heaven's sheen	R
Where'er the water's surface clear	V
Bore not the hues of verdant light	P
From myriad boughs on mountain height	P
Or near the shadowed banks were seen	R
The sparkles that in circlets bright	P
Told where the fishes' feast had been	W
	-
And when afar the forests flushed	P
In falling swathes of fire there soared	P
Dark clouds where muttering thunder roared	P
And mounting vapours lurid rushed	P
While a metallic lustre flew	X
Upon the vivid verdure's hue	X
Before the blasts and rain forth poured	P
And slow o'er mighty landscapes drew	X
The grandest pageant of the Lord	P
	-
The threatening march of flashing cloud	P
With tumults of embattled air	Y
Blest conflicts for the good they bear	Y
A century has God allowed	P
None other since the days He gave	Z
Unequal fortune to the brave	Z
Comrades in death you live to share	Y
An equal honour for your grave	Z
Bade Enmity take Love as heir	Y
	-
We watched when gone day's quivering haze	A2
The loops of plunging foam that beat	P
The rocks at Montmorenci's feet	P
Stab the deep gloom with moonlit rays	A2
Or from the fortress saw the streams	A
Sweep swiftly o'er the pillared beams	A
White shone the roofs and anchored fleet	P
And grassy slopes where nod in dreams	A
Pale hosts of sleeping Marguerite	P
	-
Or when the dazzling Frost King mailed	P
Would clasp the wilful waterfall	Q
Fast leaping to her snowy hall	Q
She fled and where her rainbows hailed	P
Her freedom painting all her home	B2
We climbed her spray built palace dome	B2
Shot down the radiant glassy wall	Q
Until we reached the snowdrift foam	B2
As shoots to waves some meteor ball	Q
	-
Then homeward hearing song or tale	C2
With chime of harness bells we sped	P
Above the frozen river bed	P
The city through a misty veil	C2
Gleamed from her cape where sunset fire	D2
Touched louvre and cathedral spire	E2
Bathed ice and snow a rosy red	P
So beautiful that men's desire	D2
For May time's rival wonders fled	P
	-
What glories hath this gracious land	P
Fit home for many a hardy race	F2
Where liberty has broadest base	F2
And labour honours every hand	P
Throughout her triply thousand miles	G2
The sun upon each season smiles	G2
And every man has scope and space	F2
And kindliness from strand to strand	P
Alone is born to right of place	F2
	-
Such were our memories May they yet	P
Be shared by others sent to be	U
Signs of the union of the free	U
And kindred peoples God hath set	P
O'er famous isles and fertile zones	H2
Of continents Or if new thrones	H2
And mighty States arise may He	U
Whose potent hand yon river owns	H2
Smooth their great future's shrouded Sea	U
