CONTENTS.
CANADA, MY LAND There may be more enchanting climes
FORWARD, CANADA! Northland of our birth and rearing
CANADIAN-BORN Although I'm not unduly proud
KNOW'ST THOU THE LAND! Know'st thou the land where the pious and bold
O MAPLE LEAF! Thee best of leaves I love
DOMINION DAY Where the purple-vestured mountains
CANADA'S EIGHTEEN At Paardeberg they fell
DOMINION DAY, 1900 Rejoice, O Canada, rejoice
O CANADA, MON PAYS, MES AMOURS O Canada, my country and my love
SOL CANADIEN, TERRE CHERIE O soil Canadian, cherished earth
MY OWN CANADIAN GIRL The demoiselles of sunny France
THE ST. LAWRENCE Though like Ulysses, fam'd of old
ST. LAWRENCE AND THE COMING SHIPS I cannot loiter on my way
THE QUEBEC EXODUS Why should we leave the soil our fathers cleared
HEAT The fickle sun that had the earth caress'd
INVOCATION TO SUMMER Come, Summer, come, nor in the south delay
SIR SUMMER When conquering Summer stalks the street
THE NIGHT A tremor, a quiver, through her ran
TO BEAUTY Beauty, belovèd of all gentle hearts
THE DOCTOR He bent above our darling's bed
MY VALENTINE O Dorothy, sweet Dorothy
MY FRIENDS Some to and fro for converse flit
NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR THE IRISH It's the Emerald Isle is the beautiful land
AN ENGLISH TOAST The English soil!—'tis hallowed ground
THE SCOT That no Scotsman is perfect, we freely confess
THE ROARIN' GAME The roarin' game, the roarin' game
THE OLD SCOTTISH MINISTER A man he was of Scottish race
THE MACS There's a race, or a part of a race, if you will
THE PARSON AT THE HOCKEY MATCH It's very disagreeable to sit here in the cold
