There is a valley where the wheat fields wave	A
In autumn like a gold ymolten sea	B
There is a river whose cool waters lave	A
Sweet scented gardens groves and rolling lea	B
And homes of people worthy to be free	B
There is a name whose sound is like a song	C
On lips of its own maidens Chateauguay	C
Yet mighty as the combat of the strong	C
And glorious as the march of Freedom over Wrong	C
	-
And here they fought and each encountered ten	D
With war steed and artillery arrayed	E
But righteous was their cause and they were men	D
Dark plumes of Iroquois and Scotia's plaid	F
But most the brothers of the arm which made	E
Napoleon terrible with triumphing	C
Between the foe and heaven they knelt and prayed	E
Then rising heard their leader's summons ring	C
Such is our duty to our God now for our King	C
	-
Again they knelt but now 'twas not to pray	G
A murd'rous volley crashes from their line	H
But tenfold thunder mocks their mimic fray	G
From furious gun and flashing carabine	H
Like roaring billows and the driving brine	H
The glut is backward hurled Hurrah 'tis vain	H
The vengeful fools like men who war in wine	H
Intoxicate with madness overfain	H
For blood have fired o'erhead and not a man is slain	H
	-
Meantime the valiant hero of the fight	I
Upon his flank had foiled another foe	J
Who now retreating back in broken plight	I
Dismayed the rest with vision of their woe	J
To see and seize the leader is not slow	J
He rushes to his buglers bids them fast	K
Withdraw into the woods advance and blow	J
As for your lives this effort were the last	K
Yea blow as Britain's throne depended on your blast	K
	-
Away they ran and wheeling sharply blew	L
The wide mouthed din obedient to his word	M
Afar to north and south the echoes flew	L
The Indian child was startled and the bird	M
Affrighted from its peaceful nest it stirred	M
The sluggish waters of the swart Outarde	M
Aghast the Southron a great army heard	M
And fled before the visionary sword	M
As fled the Syrian host deceived by Israel's Lord	M
	-
Back cravens back in ignominy fly	N
Back to your homes your country and your slaves	O
But thou art holy ground and ne'er shall die	N
Thy virtue and thy fame while still Time saves	O
His best And still shall states when conquest craves	O
From thee the salutary lesson learn	H
The poet call thy heroes from their graves	O
To thee the warrior point the patriot turn	H
Thou last of Freedom's fields Canadian Bannockburn	H
