Life In The Woods.

Topics: classic

(Life of the early settlers.)             Canada hath wealthy yeomen             Whose fathers overcome the foemen,             The enemy they boldly slew             Was mighty forests they did hew,             And where they burned heaps of slain             Their sons now reap the golden grain,             But in the region of Northwest             With prairie farms they are blest.             Though this to them it may seem good             Yet many blessings come from wood,             It shelters you from the fierce storm             And in the winter keeps you warm,             For one who hath his forest trees             He builds his house and barn with ease,             And how quick he gets from thence             Timber for bridge and for his fence.
