| ON Lac Sainte Irene the morn | B |
| Lay rimmed with pine and roped with mist | C |
| The old moon hid her silver horn | B |
| In shadow that the sun had kissed | C |
| One went by like a wandering soul | D |
| And followed ever | E |
| By reed and river | E |
| The silent canoe of the lake patrol | D |
| - | |
| On Lac Sainte Irene the noon | F |
| Lay wolf like waiting by her hills | G |
| No voice was heard but the sad loon | F |
| And the wild throated whip poor wills | G |
| But one went by on the bitter flaw | H |
| And followed ever | E |
| By rapid and river | E |
| The swift canoe of the white man's law | H |
| - | |
| On Lac Sainte Irene the moose | I |
| Broke from his balsams breathing hot | J |
| The bittern and the great wild goose | I |
| Pled south before the sudden shot | J |
| One fled with them like a hunted soul | D |
| And followed ever | E |
| By ford and river | E |
| The little canoe of the lake patrol | D |
| - | |
| On Lac Sainte Irene the blue | K |
| Vast arch of night was starred and deep | L |
| No footsteps scared the caribou | K |
| Nor waked the wolverine from his sleep | L |
| Loosed indeed was the hunted soul | D |
| And homeward ever | E |
| By rapid and river | E |
| Slipped the canoe of the lake patrol | D |
