<h3> CANADA, MY LAND. </h3>
<p class="poem">
There may be more enchanting climes<br/>
Within a southern zone;<br/>
There may be eastern Edens deckt<br/>
With charms to thee unknown;<br/>
But thou art fairest unto me,<br/>
Because thou art mine own,<br/>
Canada, my land.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
More spacious plains and loftier heights<br/>
In other realms may be,<br/>
And mightier streams than those which bear<br/>
Thy waters to the sea;<br/>
But thou, great handiwork of God,<br/>
Art grandest unto me,<br/>
Canada, my land.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
More glorious records may adorn<br/>
The annals of the past<br/>
Than those which tell the rise and growth<br/>
Of thy dominion vast;<br/>
But I am proudest of the land<br/>
In which my lot is cast,<br/>
Canada, my land.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Beneath thy green or snow-clad sod<br/>
My fathers' ashes lie;<br/>
Thou hast my all, to thee I'm bound<br/>
By every dearest tie;<br/>
For thee I'll gladly live, for thee<br/>
I cheerfully would die,<br/>
Canada, my land.<br/></p>
