Too holy is the task for jeers,
Too lofty to permit of fears.
Ignoble is the fear of loss;
The call of honour _all_ demands!
What thought those generous hearts of dross
Who sowed our races in these lands?
Who blames the Loyalist of pelf?
Champlain, what cared he for himself?
Ignoble is the dread of harm:--
Expurge it for a nobler creed!
Until we smile at all alarm
Poor will be our Canadian breed.

Your nation's that ye may be man's:
Advance; invent; improve; the gleam
Of dawn for all illume your plans!
Greece lived! the world requires again
The lives of nations and of men!

When I wuz East--and young;--
That is to say, three months ago.
But now I must be grey,
Fer I've been out here so long I've lost
The hang o' the Western way.
Way down thar in the State o' Maine,
In mild Skowhegan town,

An' the clerk o' Storeclothes Brown.
Till I got to readin' _Roarin Camp_

Buffalo Bill an' Bloody Gulch,
An' pistol-an'-poker games,
