Interesting question about a document that I cannot find online for war history fanatics it is titled "This Canada of Ours"?

THIS CANADA OF OURS.

A NATIONAL SONG.

LET other tongues in older lands

Loud vaunt their claims to glory,

And chaunt in triumph of the past,

Content to live in story.

Tho' boasting no baronial halls,

Nor ivy-crested towers,

What past can match thy glorious youth,

Fair Canada of ours ?

Fair Canada,

Dear Canada,

This Canada of ours !

We love those far-off ocean Isles,

Where Britain's monarch reigns ;

5

6 THIS CANADA OF OURS.

We'll ne'er forget the good old blood

That courses through our veins ;

Proud Scotia's fame, old Erin's name,

And haughty Albion's powers,

Eeflect their matchless lustre on

This Canada of ours.

Fair Canada,

Dear Canada,

This Canada of ours !

May our Dominion flourish then,

A goodly land and free,

Where Celt and Saxon, hand in hand,

Hold sway from sea to sea ;

Strong arms shall guard our cherished homes,

When darkest danger lowers,

And with our life-blood we'll defend

This Canada of ours.

Fair Canada,

Dear Canada,

This Canada of ours !

a poem by Herbert Fairbairn Gardiner, Hamilton, Ontario.
