The Canadian Horse + 

The fame of the Canadian Horse, + 

It is heard on many a course, + 

For it has won oft in the race, + 

And renowned for graceful pace. + 

Great change from the Indian pony, + 

Who in old times was the only + 

Horse that you could drive or ride, + 

Now you have the powerful Clyde. + 

’Tis true that he is rather slow, + 

But deep he plows so you may sow, + 

And over any kind of road + 

He will pull a mighty load. + 

Of brutes the horse doth lead the van, + 

And he is the best friend of man; + 

Well trained, so gentle and so kind, + 

And next he ranks to man in mind. + 
