Away to the west Westward ho Westward ho	A
Where over the prairies the summer winds blow	A
	-
Why known to so few were its rivers and plains	B
Where rustle so tall in their ripeness the grains	B
The bison and Red men alone cared to roam	C
O'er realms that to millions must soon give a home	C
The vast fertile levels Old Time loved to reap	D
The haymaker's song hath awakened from sleep	D
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
Why waited we fearing to plant and to sow	E
	-
Not ours was the waiting By God was ordained	F
The hour when the ocean's grey steeds were up reined	F
And green marshes rose and the bittern's abode	G
Became the Lone Land where the wild hunter strode	G
And soils with grass harvests grew rich and the clime	C
For us was prepared in the fulness of Time	C
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
For us 'twas prepared long ago long ago	A
There came from the Old World at last o'er the sea	H
The bravest and best to this land of the free	H
And leal to their flag won the fruits of the earth	I
By might that has given new nations a birth	I
But found in our North land a bride to be known	J
More worthy than all of the love of the throne	J
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
God's hand is our guide 'tis His will that we go	A
	-
To lands yet more happy than Europe's for here	K
We mould the young nation for Freedom to rear	L
Full strongly we build and have nought to pull down	M
For true to ourselves we are true to the Crown	M
The will of the people its honour shows forth	N
As pole star whose radiance points steadfastly north	N
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
Where rooted in Freedom shall Liberty grow	A
	-
Right good is the loam that for five score of days	O
Its rolling lands show or its plains' scented ways	O
Nor used is the pick if the earth has concealed	P
The waters it keeps for the house and the field	P
The spade finds enough until burst on the sight	Q
Our Rocky Sierras' sweet rivers of light	Q
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
From mountains and lakes there the great rivers flow	A
	-
If told of Brazil or great Mexico's gold	R
Of Cotton States' warmth and of Canada's cold	R
Go say how we prize like the ore of the mine	S
The snows sapphire shadowed in winter's sunshine	S
Our gayest of seasons which guards the good soil	T
For races who won it through faith and through toil	T
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
Bright sparkles its winter and light is its snow	A
	-
There gaily in measureless meadows all day	U
The sun and the breeze with the grass are at play	U
In billows that never can break as they pass	V
But toss the gold foam of the flower laden grass	V
The bright yellow disks of the asters upcast	U
On waves that in blossoms flow silently past	U
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
Where over the prairies the summer winds blow	A
	-
The West for you boys where our God has made room	C
For field and for city for plough and for loom	C
The West for you girls for our Canada deems	W
Love's home better luck than a gold seeker's dreams	W
Away and your children shall bless you for they	U
Shall rule o'er a land fairer far than Cathay	U
	-
Away to the West Westward ho Westward ho	A
Thou God of their fathers Thy blessing bestow	A
