Classic Poem

Let others raise the song of praise
To lands renowned in story;
The land give me of the maple tree,
The pine in all his glory!

Hurrah for the grand old forest land,
Where freedom spreads her pinion!
Hurrah with me for the maple tree!
Hurrah for the New Dominion!

Be hers the light and hers the might
Which liberty engenders;
Sons of the free, come join with me—
Hurrah for her defenders!

And be their fame, in loud acclaim,
In grateful strains ascending—
The fame of those who met her foes,
And died, her soil defending.

Hurrah for the grand old forest land,
Where freedom spreads her pinion!
Hurrah with me for the maple tree!
Hurrah for the New Dominion!
