Ode to Newfoundland

When sunrays crown thy pine-clad hills And Summer spreads her hand When silvern voices tune thy rills We love thee smiling land We love thee, we love thee, We love thee smiling land.

When spreads thy cloak of shimm'ring white At Winter's stern command Thro' shortened day and starlit night We love thee frozen land We love thee, we love thee, We love thee frozen land.

When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore And wild waves lash thy strand Thro' spindrift swirl and tempest roar We love thee wind-swept land We love thee, we love thee, We love thee wind-swept land.

As loved our fathers, so we love Where once they stood we stand Their prayer we raise to heav'n above God guard thee Newfoundland God guard thee, God guard thee God guard thee Newfoundland.
