Patriot Fighting For His Home.

Topics: classic

On the shores of the northern lakes             An infant giant now awakes,             He has long time been in a dream,             But now is roused by engine's scream.             For mighty spirits are abroad             Traversing of each great railroad,             For it is a glorious theme             The peaceful conquest made by steam.             But should the foot of invader vile             Ever desecrate his soil,             He firm will meet him bold and brave             And give him soil Canadian grave.
