Under the bare brown rafters	A
In his garret bed he lay	B
And dreamed of the bright hereafters	A
And the merry morns of May	B
	-
The snow flakes slowly sifted	C
In through each cranny and seam	D
But only the sunshine drifted	E
Into the news boy's dream	D
	-
For he dreamed of the brave to morrows	A
His eager eyes should scan	F
When battling with wants and sorrows	A
He felt himself a Man	F
	-
He felt his heart grow bolder	G
For the struggle and the strife	H
When shoulder joined to shoulder	G
In the battle field of life	H
	-
And instead of the bare brown rafters	A
And the snowflakes sifting in	I
He saw in the glad hereafters	A
The home his hands should win	I
	-
The flowers that grew in its shadow	J
And the trees that drooped above	K
The low of the kine in the meadow	J
And the coo of the morning dove	K
	-
And dearer and more tender	G
He saw his mother there	L
As she knelt in the sunset splendour	L
To say the evening prayer	L
	-
His face the sun had burned it	M
And his hands were rough and hard	N
But home he had fairly earned it	M
And this was his reward	O
	-
The morning star's faint glimmer	L
Stole into the garret forlorn	P
And touched the face of the dreamer	L
With the light of a hope new born	P
	-
Oh ring harmonious voices	A
Of New Year's welcoming bells	A
For the very air rejoices	A
Through all its sounding cells	A
	-
I greet ye oh friends and neighbours	A
The smith and the artizan	P
I share in your honest labours	A
A Canadian working man	P
	-
To wield the axe or the hammer	L
To till the yielding soil	Q
Enroll me under your banner	L
Oh Brotherhood of Toil	Q
	-
Ring bells of the brave to morrows	A
And bring the time more near	L
Ring out the wants and the sorrows	A
Ring in the glad New Year	L
