Manitoba Assiniboia Saskatchewan Athabasca Alberta and British Columbia	A
	-
At a feast in the east of our central plains	B
Girt with the sheaths of the wheaten grains	B
Manitoba lay where the sunflowers blow	C
And sang to the chime of the Red River's flow	C
I am child of the spirit whom all men own	D
My prairie no longer is green and lone	D
For the hosts of the settler have ringed me round	E
And his bride am I with the harvest crowned	E
	-
On her steed at speed o'er her burning grass	F
We saw Assiniboia pass	F
The bison and antelope still are mine	G
And the Indian wars on my boundary line	G
Where his knife is dyed I love to ride	H
By the cactus blooms or the marshes wide	H
While the quivering columns of thunder fire	I
Give light to the darkened land's desire	I
	-
To the North look ye forth cried the voice of one	J
Who dwells where the great twin rivers run	J
Or farther yet Athabaska cried	H
Where mightier waters the hills divide	H
'Peace' is their name and the musk ox there	K
Still feeds alone on the meadows fair	K
Nay stay said the first the white man's word	L
Hath called me the kindest to horse and herd	L
	-
From on high where the sky and the snow born rill	M
Each morn and eve to the rose tints thrill	M
Sang the fairy Sprite of the Fountain Land	N
A daughter of her whose sceptred hand	N
With the flag of the woven crosses three	O
Hath rule o'er the ocean hath christened me	O
And my waves their homage repeat again	P
And that standard greet in the loyal main	Q
	-
And their lays in her praise then sang the four	R
Alberta has all we can boast and more	R
The scented breath of the plains is hers	S
The odours sweet of the sage and firs	S
There the coal breaks forth on her rolling sod	T
And the winters flee at the winds of God	T
Columbia come for we want but thee	O
Now tell of thyself and thy silent sea	O
	-
Clad with the silver snow a pine	G
Guarded the grot of a golden mine	G
And dark was the shade which the mist wreaths cast	U
Though brightly they shone on the mountain vast	U
Stars and sun o'er that cavern swept	V
Where on the glittering sand I slept	V
But none could behold me or know where was stored	W
More treasure than monarch e'er won with the sword	W
Floods in fathomless torrents fall	X
Through the awful rifts of the Alpine wall	X
Where I passed in the night over forest and glen	P
O'er the ships on the sea and the cities of men	P
Swifter than morn His shafts of love	Y
Behind me caught the peaks above	Y
But touched not my wings I had gone e'er he came	Z
Where the vine maple fringed the deep forest with flame	Z
Strewn o'er the sombre walls of green	A2
In saffron or in crimson sheen	A2
How lovely those gardens of autumn where rolled	B2
In smoke and in fire the red lava of old	B2
Soon I reached my sea girt home	C2
Sheltered from the breakers' foam	C2
Seek not for mine isle for a thousand and more	R
Lie asleep in the calm near the mountainous shore	R
Oft I roam in moon ray clear	D2
With the puma and the deer	D2
From the boughs of Madr 'na that droop o'er a bay	E2
I watch the fish dart from the beams of the day	E2
Mine are tranquil gulfs nor give	F2
Sign to lovers where I live	G2
But the sea rock betrays where my netting is hung	H2
When the meshes of light o'er its mosses are flung	H2
She ceased and then in chorus strong	I2
The blended voices floated long	I2
	-
No sirens we of shore or wave	J2
To sing of love and tempt the brave	J2
We fled their path and freedom found	E
Where blue horizons stretched around	E
And lilies in the grasses made	K2
A double sunshine on each blade	K2
No wooers we but wooed by them	L2
We yield our maiden diadem	L2
And welcome now no longer mute	M2
Tried hearts so true and resolute	M2
