Port Stanley.
In winter time 'tis sad and dreary For to gaze on stormy Erie, But here in summer time this port It is a fashionable resort, For then it is always cheery For to gaze upon Lake Erie. Or on the steamer you can sail All independent of the gale, Or here the youth can ply the oar And view the fast receding shore, And be happy with his dearie On the bosom of Lake Erie. No one here need ever weary On the borders of Lake Erie, With quadrille parties at Stanley And games and sports all so manly, Or bathe in waves with friends near thee, You fear no storms of Lake Erie.
