| 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 |
