Lines on Canadian Hunter + 

Of Kentucky’s great hunter bold + 

Old Daniel Boone oft tales are told, + 

Of wild beasts he had no fear, + 

But dangers loved that pioneer. + 

Canada has hunters many, + 

Yet perhaps there is not any + 

For skill and boldness can compare + 

With our own Daniel Hebner. + 

In youth he was both tall and strong, + 

And supple as a willow thong, + 

He never fled from savage bear, + 

Though bruin on hind legs would rear. + 

In hunting mink, or fox or coon, + 

He was a second Daniel Boone, + 

His rifle oft brought down the deer, + 

Which to his table brought good cheer. + 

But through his life his highest aim + 

Was to kill the savage game, + 

To track the wild cat to its lair + 

And see its eyes so fiercely glare. + 

But he oft longs for a cut ham, + 

Sweet as from bear near to Putnam, + 

For he waged his fiercest war + 

In big swamp of Dorchester. + 

Now in the winter Dan he rides + 

Warm ’mong his bear and coon skin hides, + 

He lets the younger men now snare + 

The beaver, muskrat and otter. + 
