Canada hath wealthy yeomen + 

Whose fathers overcome the foemen, + 

The enemy they boldly slew + 

Was mighty forests they did hew, + 

And where they burned heaps of slain + 

Their sons now reap the golden grain, + 

But in the region of Northwest + 

With prairie farms they are blest. + 

Though this to them it may seem good + 

Yet many blessings come from wood, + 

It shelters you from the fierce storm + 

And in the winter keeps you warm, + 

For one who hath his forest trees + 

He builds his house and barn with ease, + 

And how quick he gets from thence + 

Timber for bridge and for his fence. + 
