Canadian Rivers and Lakes + 

We have here a sight as fair + 

As bonnie Doon or banks of Ayr, + 

Like modest worth meandering slow + 

The quiet waters gently flow, + 

Rose, thistle, shamrock, all combine, + 

Around the maple leaf to twine, + 

Whose outstretched arms so gigantic + 

Clasp Pacific and Atlantic, + 

Embracing lakes like burnished gold, + 

With joy a Shakespeare might behold, + 

For either Poet Burns or Moore + 

Such scenery they would adore. + 
