I	A
	-
	-
Break dull November skies and make	B
Sunshine over wood and lake	B
And fill your cells of frosty air	C
With thousand thousand welcomes to the Princely pair	C
The land and the sea are alight for them	D
The wrinkled face of old Winter is bright for them	D
The honour and pride of a race	E
Secure in their dwelling place	E
Steadfast and stern as the rocks that guard her	F
Tremble and thrill and leap in their veins	G
As the blood of one man through the beacon lit border	F
Like a fire like a flame	H
At the sound of her name	H
As the smoky throated cannon mutter it	I
As the smiling lips of a nation utter it	I
And a hundred rock lights write it in fire	F
Daughter of Empires the Lady of Lome	H
Back through the mists of dim centuries borne	J
None nobler none gentler that brave name have worn	J
Shrilled by storm bugles and rolled by the seas	K
Louise	K
Our Princess our Empress our Lady of Lorne	J
	-
II	A
	-
	-
And the wild white horses with flying manes	G
Wind tost the riderless steeds of the sea	L
Neigh to her call to her dreadless and free	L
Fear not to follow us these thy domains	G
Welcome welcome our Lady and Queen	M
O Princess oh daughter of kingliest sire	F
Under its frost girdle throbbing and keen	M
A new realm awaits thee loyal and true	N
And the round cheeked Tritons with fillets of blue	N
Binding their sea green and scintillant hair	C
Blow thee a welcome their brawny arms bear	C
Thy keel through the waves like a bird through the air	C
	-
II	A
	-
	-
Shoreward the shoal of mighty shoulders lean	M
Through the long swell of waves	O
Reaching beyond the sunset and the hollow caves	O
And the ice girdled peaks that hold serene	M
Each its own star far out at sea to mark	P
Thy westward way O Princess through the dark	P
The rose red sunset dies into the dusk	Q
The silver dusk of the long twilight hour	F
And opal lights come out and fiery gleams	R
Of flame red beacons like the ash gray husk	Q
Torn from some tropic blossom bursting into flower	F
Making the sea bloom red with ruddy beams	R
	-
IV	-
	-
	-
Still nearer and nearer it comes the swift sharp prow	S
Of the ship above and the shadow ship below	T
With the mighty arms of the Titans under	F
All bowed one way like a field of wind blown ears	U
Still nearer and nearer and now	S
touches the strand and lo	T
With the length of her bright hair backward flowing	V
Round her head like an aureole	W
Like a candle flame in the wind's breath blowing	V
Stands she fair and still as a disembodied soul	W
With hands outstretched and eyes that shine through tears	X
And tremulous smiles	Y
When the trumpets and the guns and the great drums roll	W
And the long fiords and the forelands shake with the thunder	F
Of the shout of welcome to the daughter of the Isles	Y
	-
V	-
	-
	-
Bring her O people on the shoulders of her vassals	Z
Throned like a queen to her palace on the height	A2
Up the rocky steeps where the fir tree tassels	Z
Nod to her and touch her with a subtle vague delight	A2
Like a whisper of home like a greeting and a smile	B2
From the fir tree walks and gardens the wood embowered castles	Z
In the north among the clansmen of Argyle	B2
Now the sullen plunge of waves for many a mile	B2
Along the roaring Ottawa is heard	C2
And the cry of some wood bird	C2
Wild and sudden and sweet	D2
Scared from its perch by the rush and trample of feet	D2
And the red glare of the torches in the night	A2
And now the long facade gay with many a twinkling light	A2
Reaches hands of welcome and the bells peal and the guns	Z
And the hoarse blare of the trumpets and the throbbing	V
of the drums	Z
Fill the air like shaken music and the very waves rejoice	Z
In the gladness and the greeting and the triumph of	-
their voice	Z
	-
VI	-
	-
	-
Under triumphal arches blazoned with banners and scrolls	Z
And the sound of a People's exulting still gathering as it rolls	Z
Enter the gates of the city and take the waiting throne	E2
And make the heart of a Nation O Royal Pair your own	E2
Sons of the old race we and heirs of the old and the new	N
Our hands are bold and strong and our hearts are faithful and true	N
Saxon and Norman and Celt one race of the mingled blood	F2
Who fought built cities and ships and stemmed the unknown flood	F2
In the grand historic days that made our England great	G2
When Britain's sons were steadfast to meet or to conquer fate	G2
Our sires were the minster builders who wrought themselves unknown	E2
The thought divine within them till it blossomed into stone	E2
Forgers of swords and of ploughshares reapers of men and of grain	H2
Their bones and their names forgotten on many a battle plain	H2
For faith and love and loyalty were living and sacred things	Z
When our sires were those who wrought and yours were the leaders	Z
and kings	Z
	-
	-
VII	-
	-
	-
For since the deeds that live in Arthur's rhyme	H
Who left the stainless flower of knighthood for all time	H
Down to our Blameless Prince wise gentle just	I2
Whom the world mourns not by your English dust	I2
More precious held more sacredly enshrined	J2
Than in each loyal breast of all mankind	J2
Men bare the head in homage to the good	K2
And she who wears the crown of womanhood	K2
August not less than that of Empress reigns	Z
The crowned Victoria of the world's domains	Z
North South East West O Princess fair behold	L2
In this new world the daughter of the old	L2
Where ribs of iron bar the Atlantic's breast	M2
Where sunset mountains slope into the west	M2
Unfathomed wildernesses valleys sweet	D2
And tawny stubble lands of corn and wheat	D2
And all the hills and lakes and forests dun	N2
Between the rising and the setting sun	N2
Where rolling rivers run with sands of gold	L2
And the locked treasures of the mine unfold	L2
Undreamed of riches and the hearts of men	O2
Held close to nature have grown pure again	O2
Like that exalted Pair beloved revered	P2
By princely grace and truth and love endeared	Q2
Here fix your empire in the growing West	M2
And build your throne in each Canadian breast	M2
Till West and East strike hands across the main	H2
Knit by a stronger more enduring chain	H2
And our vast Empire become one again	O2
