Well tell a tale, it shall be brief + 

It is of rise of Maple Leaf, + 

From noble Olive Branch it sprung, + 

And its good deeds shall yet be sung; + 

This Encampment, though in its youth, + 

Glories in friendship, love, and truth + 

Of all our lodges yet the chief + 

May be this youthful Maple Leaf; + 

Built of good timber, it doth launch + 

Well worthy of the Olive Branch, + 

And though it only is a shoot + 

We hope that it will take deep root, + 

And soon be vigorous Maple tree + 

In Canada so broad and free. + 

And may its usefulness ne’er cease + 

Sprung from the Olive Branch of peace, + 

But comfort brothers in distress, + 

Widows and orphans it will bless, + 

And console them in their grief, + 

Protected by the Maple Leaf. + 

Poor travellers in the wilderness + 

They oft do suffer great distress, + 

But may no pilgrim get rude shock + 

Sojourning here in Woodstock. + 
