Fair land of peace to Britain's rule and throne	A
Adherent still yet happier than alone	A
And free as happy and as brave as free	B
Proud are thy children justly proud of thee	B
	-
Thou hast no streams renowned in classic lore	C
No vales where fabled heroes moved of yore	C
No hills where Poesy enraptured stood	D
No mythic fountains no enchanted wood	D
But unadorned rough cold and often stern	E
The careless eye to other lands might turn	E
And seek where Nature's bloom is more intense	F
Softer delights to charm the eye of sense	F
	-
But we who know thee proudly point the hand	G
Where thy broad rivers roll serenely grand	G
Where in still beauty 'neath our northern sky	H
Thy lordly lakes in solemn grandeur lie	H
Where old Niagara's awful voice has given	I
The flood's deep anthem to the ear of heaven	I
Through the long ages of the vanished past	J
Through Summer's bloom and Winter's angry blast	J
Nature's proud utterance of unwearied song	K
Now as at first majestic solemn strong	K
And ne'er to fail till the archangel's cry	H
Shall still the million tones of earth and sky	H
And send the shout to ocean's farthest shore	C
Be hushed ye voices time shall be no more	C
	-
Few are the years that have sufficed to change	L
This whole broad land by transformation strange	L
Once far and wide the unbroken forests spread	M
Their lonely wastes mysterious and dread	M
Forests whose echoes never had been stirred	N
By the sweet music of an English word	N
Where only rang the red browed hunter's yell	O
And the wolfs howl thro' the dark sunless dell	O
	-
Now fruitful fields and waving orchard trees	P
Spread their rich treasures to the summer breeze	P
Yonder in queenly pride a city stands	Q
Whence stately vessels speed to distant lands	Q
Here smiles a hamlet thro' embowering green	R
And there the statelier village spires are seen	R
Here by the brook side clacks the noisy mill	S
	-
There the white homestead nestles to the hill	S
The modest school house here flings wide its door	C
To smiling crowds that seek its simple lore	C
There Learning's statelier fane of massive walls	T
Wooes the young aspirant to classic halls	T
And bids him in her hoarded treasures find	U
The gathered wealth of every gifted mind	U
	-
Here too we see in primal freshness still	S
The cool calm forest nodding on the hill	S
And o'er the quiet valley clustering green	R
The tall trees linked in brotherhood serene	R
Fattening from year to year the soil below	V
Which shall in time with golden harvests glow	V
And yield more wealth to Labor's sturdy hands	Q
	-
Than fabled Eldorado's yellow sands	Q
Where once with thundering din in years by gone	W
The heavy waggon labored slowly on	X
Thro' dreary swamps by rudest causeways spanned	G
With shaggy cedars dark on either hand	G
Where wolves oft howled in nightly chorus drear	C
And boding owls mocked the lone traveller's fear	C
	-
Now o'er the stable Rail the Iron horse	Y
Sweeps proudly on in his exultant course	Y
Bearing in his impetuous flight along	K
The freighted car with all its living throng	K
At speed which rivals in its onward flight	Z
The bird's free wing thro' azure fields of light	Z
	-
Wealth of the forest treasures of the hills	A2
Majestic rivers fertilizing rills	A2
Expansive lakes rich vales and sunny plains	A2
Vast fields where yet primeval nature reigns	A2
Exhaustless treasures of the teeming soil	B2
These loudly call to enterprising Toil	B2
	-
Nor vainly call From lands beyond the sea	A2
Strong men have turned O Canada to thee	A2
Turned from their father's graves their native shore	C
Smiling to scorn the flood's tempestuous roar	C
Gladly to find where broader ampler room	C2
Allured their steps a happy Western home	D2
	-
The toil worn peasant looked with eager eyes	A2
O'er the blue waters to those distant skies	A2
Where no one groaned 'neath unrequited toil	B2
Where the strong laborer might own the soil	B2
On which he stood and in his manhood's strength	E2
Smile to behold his growing fields at length	E2
Where his brave sons might easily obtain	F2
The lore for which their father sighed in vain	F2
And in a few short seasons take their stand	G
Among the learned and gifted of the land	G
	-
Could ocean barriers avail to keep	G2
That yearning heart in lands beyond the deep	G2
No the sweet vision of a home his own	A
Haunted his days of toil his midnights lone	A
Till gath'ring up his little earthly store	C
Boldly he sought this far off Western shore	C
In a few years to realize far more	C
Than in his wildest dreams he hoped before	C
We cannot boast those skies of milder ray	C
'Neath which the orange mellows day by day	C
Where the Magnolia spreads its snowy flowers	A2
And Nature revels in perennial bowers	A2
Here Winter holds his long and solemn reign	F2
And madly sweeps the desolated plain	F2
But Health and Vigor hail the wintry strife	H2
With all the buoyant glow of happy life	H2
And by the blazing chimney's cheerful hearth	I2
Smile at the blast 'mid songs and household mirth	J2
	-
Here Freedom looks o'er all those broad domains	A2
And hears no heavy clank of servile chains	A2
Here man no matter what his skin may be	A2
May stand erect and proudly say I'M FREE	A2
No crouching slaves cower in our busy marts	A2
With straining eyes and anguish riven hearts	A2
	-
The beam that gilds alike the palace walls	A2
And lowly hut with genial radiance falls	A2
On peer and peasant but the lowliest here	C
Walks in the sunshine free as is a peer	C
Proudly he stands with muscles strong and free	A2
The serf the slave of no man doomed to be	A2
His own the arm the heavy axe that wields	A2
His own the hands that till the summer fields	A2
His own the babes that prattle in the door	C
His own the wife that treads the cottage floor	C
All the sweet ties of life to him are sure	C
All the proud rights of MANHOOD are secure	C
	-
Fair land of peace' Oh mayest thou ever be	A2
Even as now the land of LIBERTY	A2
Treading serenely the bright upward road	K2
Honored of nations and approved of God	L2
On thy fair brow emblazoned clear and bright	Z
FREEDOM FRATERNITY AND EQUAL RIGHT	Z
