Know'st thou the land where the pious and bold	A
Beared Christianity's emblem of old	A
And civilization's beneficent reign	B
Extended o'er anarchy's savage domain	B
The land of the dauntless explorers who prest	C
Upstream through the wilderness into the West	C
Know'st thou the land of the soldier and knight	D
The land of adventure and toil and delight	D
Know'st thou the land	E
Know'st thou the land	E
'Tis the land of my home my beloved native land	E
	-
Know'st thou the land where the Briton and Gaul	F
In courage and prowess supreme over all	F
Contending for lordship and vying for place	G
Collided and locked in a mighty embrace	G
So bravely that fame has awarded the palm	H
Of deathless renown to both Wolfe and Montcalm	H
Know'st thou the land for which heroes have died	I
The land of the strong and the true and the tried	I
	-
Know'st thou the land of the broad maple tree	J
The noblest and best of his fellows is he	J
He grows in the meadow the grove and the wood	K
His trunk is for timber his sap is for food	L
His boughs are for fire in the cold winter days	M
His leaves are for shade from the summer sun's blaze	M
Know'st thou the land of the maple benign	N
The land of the elm and the oak and the pine	N
	-
Know'st thou the land where the great inland seas	O
Are tossed by the tempest or fanned by the breeze	O
The land of Superior's crystalline tide	I
Of Huron's exuberant vigor and pride	I
Of Erie's alluring voluptuous glance	P
Ontario's laughing Elysian expanse	P
Know'st thou the land that is praised evermore	Q
By the chant of their surge and Niagara's roar	Q
	-
Know'st thou the land of the clear flowing streams	R
That mirror the stars and reflect the sun's beams	R
Through the woods and the farmland they wander at large	S
And the deer and the kine come to drink at their marge	S
They flash in the distance like ribands of white	D
Their trout haunted pools are the angler's delight	D
Know'st thou the land of the rivers and rills	R
The boon of the lowlands the joy of the hills	R
	-
Know'st thou the land where St Lawrence proceeds	R
By cities and hamlets and blossoming meads	R
And islands and waters of lesser degree	J
With his tribute to pour in the lap of the sea	J
His shining battalions he halts to deploy	T
Or leaps through the rapid with turbulent joy	T
Know'st thou the land that he laves in his flow	U
Where deep laden argosies royally go	U
	-
Know'st thou the land of the mountains that rise	R
Till their summits are lost in the depths of the skies	R
Their granite foundations are far underground	V
Where the gold and the coal and the iron abound	V
And the sun on their white headed majesty flings	R
The radiance of crowns and the purple of kings	R
Know'st thou the land of these citadels tall	F
With their ramparts and battlements wall upon wall	F
	-
Know'st thou the land where the ice and the snow	U
On all things a magical beauty bestow	U
Then the earth is a bride and the tingling air wine	N
The frosty sky sparkles the Pleiades shine	N
And the bright merry dancers in gorgeous array	W
Like ghosts of dead sunbeams come forth to their play	W
Know'st thou the land of the sleigh bells the land	E
Of the warm fireside and the welcoming hand	E
	-
Know'st thou the land where kind Nature has given	X
In earth's beauty and grandeur a foretaste of heaven	X
Where History lingers enthralled with the view	Y
Of as splendid exploits as the world ever knew	Y
Where Industry reaps the rewards of her toil	Z
In the wealth of the cities the fruits of the soil	Z
Know'st thou the land which the Muses regard	A2
The land of the sculptor the singer the bard	A2
	-
Know'st thou the land where the spell of the past	B2
Is over the mind irresistibly cast	B2
Where the present fulfills the fond hopes of the years	R
The dreams of romancers the visions of seers	R
Where the future inspires with a prospect sublime	H
Maturing the fairest fruition of time	H
Know'st thou this land of Heaven's favor possest	B2
The fortunate land of a destiny blest	B2
Know'st thou the land	B2
Know'st thou the land	B2
'Tis the land of my home my belov'd native land	B2
