Thorold is famous for its mills, + 

And the grand view from off its hills, + 

A view so charming and extended, + 

Nature’s beauties sweetly blended. + 

Poetic thoughts it doth awake + 

To view Ontario’s broad lake, + 

And husbandmen have their reward in + 

Fruits of this Provincial garden. + 

For from the hill you see below + 

Gardens where choice fruits do grow, + 

The landscape all within your reach + 

Doth both produce the grape and peach. + 

McCready said in the New World + 

The finest view was from Thorold, + 

You see St. Catharines thriving town + 

And steamers sailing up and down. + 

And you can see on a clear day + 

All along Toronto Bay, + 

And you clearly see the haze + 

Where Niagara doth amaze. + 

And glance where Grimsby’s gardens yield + 

Or view Beamsville’s fruitful field, + 

Then this thought you can advance, + 

This is Canada’s sunny France. + 

You see Niagara’s ancient town + 

Though it has lost us old renown, + 

And you have a splendid view + 

Of boats on old canal and new. + 
