Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJJFJ JKLKHMDN OPFPFJQJ HRLLJSHSHe stood on the wood crowned summit | A |
Of our mountain's regal height | B |
And gazed on the scene before him | C |
By October's golden light | B |
And his dark eyes earnest thoughtful | D |
Lit up with a softer ray | E |
As they dwelt on the scene of beauty | F |
That outspread before him lay | E |
- | |
Like a sea of liquid silver | G |
St Lawrence 'neath the sun | H |
Reflected the forest foliage | I |
And the Indian wigwams dun | H |
Embracing the fairy islands | J |
That its swift tide loving laves | J |
Reposing in tranquil beauty | F |
Amid its sapphire waves | J |
- | |
To the eastward frowning mountains | J |
Rose in solemn grandeur still | K |
The glittering sunlight glinting | L |
On steep and rugged hill | K |
Whilst in the far horizon | H |
Past leafy dell and haunt | M |
Like a line of misty purple | D |
Rose the dim hills of Vermont | N |
- | |
Then Cartier's rapt gaze wandered | O |
Where starred with wild flowers sweet | P |
In its gorgeous autumn beauty | F |
Lay the forest at his feet | P |
With red and golden glory | F |
All the foliage seemed ablaze | J |
Yet with brightness strangely softened | Q |
By October's amber haze | J |
- | |
Around him stretched the mountain | H |
Ever lovely ever young | R |
Graceful softly undulating | L |
By tall forest trees o'erhung | L |
'Twas then his thought found utterance | J |
The words Mont Royal came | S |
And thus our Royal Mountain | H |
Received its fitting name | S |
