In days of yore, from Britain's shore, Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride
And, joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
The Maple Leaf Forever!
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf Forever!
God save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf Forever!
At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side,
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield and never!
Our watchword evermore shall be
"The Maple Leaf Forever!"
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
May peace forever in our lot,
And plenteous store abound;
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green o'er freedom's home
The Maple Leaf forever!
On merry England's far famed land
May kind heaven sweetly smile,
God bless old Scotland evermore
and Ireland's Em'rald Isle!
And swell the song both loud and long
Till the rocks and forest quiver!
God save our Queen and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!
