George Menzies' Poems, 1883.

About one third of a century ago there flourished in Canada three Scottish editors, all of whom were poets, McQueen of the Huron Signal, Goderich, who wrote a grand song on "Our Broad Lake," and McGeorge of the Streetsville Review. The following lines are on George Menzies who was a Woodstock editor.             One day while passing 'long the road             On a small book we almost trod,             Its leaves were scattered o'er the ground,             We picked them up and when we found             The author's name, it did inspire             Us with a very strong desire             To read the little volume through,             For most of it to us was new.             He doth sing of land of heather             And Canadian scenes together,             He did adore Niagara's roar             Where mighty flood o'er fall doth pour.             But poets lives are often brief             And he had his full share of grief,             Which to his life did gloom impart,             But he bore up with his brave heart.
