Lines on Canada + 

A land o’er flowing with milk and honey + 

Where the industrious may gather money, + 

Here men do not rank for wealth they inherit, + 

The stamp of nobility is one of merit. + 

Though we cannot boast of antiquities old + 

We truly can boast of mines of pure gold, + 

And the discoveries at Fraser River + 

Hudson Bay monopoly to pieces will shiver. + 

For Britain at present little would move her + 

To present to Canada Hudson Bay and Vancouver, + 

Then she would be a yoang giant empire + 

As great as a Briton could well desire. + 

Then with the whole of British America + 

United by railroad as well as by law, + 

Proudly we might with banners unfurled + 

Proclaim her the great highway of the world. + 
