St. Lawrence and the Saguenay, The - Part 53
What were the Gardens and the Terraces,
The stately dwellings, and the monuments
Upreared to human fame, compared to these?
Those ancient hills stood proudly ere the tents
Of the first Voyageurs — swart visitants
From the fair, sunny Loire — were pitched upon
Wild Stadacona's height. The armaments
Whose mighty thunder clove the solid stone,
Defaced yon granite cape, that answered groan for groan.
