Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNON PQRQ SBSB GTUT VWXW| Few poets yet in praise of thee | A |
| Have tuned a passing lay | B |
| Yet art thou rich in beauties stern | C |
| Thou dark browed Saguenay | B |
| - | |
| And those grand charms that surely form | D |
| For earth her rarest crown | E |
| On thee with strangely lavish hand | F |
| Have all been showered down | E |
| - | |
| Thine own wild flood so deep so dark | G |
| That holds the gaze enthralled | H |
| As if by some weird spell at once | I |
| Entranced yet not appalled | H |
| - | |
| Seeking in vain to pierce those depths | J |
| Where wave and rock have met | K |
| Those depths which by the hand of man | L |
| Have ne er been fathomed yet | K |
| - | |
| And then thy shores thy rock bound shores | M |
| Where giant cliffs arise | N |
| Raising their untrod unknown heights | O |
| Defiant to the skies | N |
| - | |
| And casting from their steep stern brows | P |
| Shadows of deepest gloom | Q |
| Athwart thy wave till it doth seem | R |
| A passage to a tomb | Q |
| - | |
| Such art thou in thy solitude | S |
| Majestic Saguenay | B |
| As lonely and as sternly rude | S |
| As in time past away | B |
| - | |
| When the red man in his fragile bark | G |
| Sped o er thy glassy wave | T |
| And found amid thy forests wild | U |
| His cradle home and grave | T |
| - | |
| All all is changed reigns in his stead | V |
| Another race and name | W |
| But in thy lonely grandeur still | X |
| Proud River thou rt the same | W |
