 * But who is there in Canada
 * Has any mind to-day
 * To roam the woods of Canada
 * Or count the flowers of May,
 * When Sorrow walks in Canada
 * And Grief has mind to stay?

Yet is there bloom in Canada
 * With scent of other life

Plucked from the fields of burning,
 * Snatched from the hands of strife;

And they who won it, silenced
 * Just at the turn of dawn,

Their names shall long remembered be
 * When ours are dimmed and gone.


 * They made a song for Canada
 * Shall ring the world around,
 * Though hearts may grieve, yet Canada
 * Forever more is crowned,
 * And these green fields of Canada
 * Henceforth are sacred ground.
