Cows suffered in the days of old
For want of water and from cold,
Now of good water they have fill
For it is pumped by the windmill.

All those who quality do prize

My friends, we sing Canadian themes,
For in them we proudly glory;
Her lakes, her rivers and her streams,
Worthy of renown in story.

In this Album you may trace-
If not the lineaments of face-
Here, at least, you will find
Photographs of the mind.

In barren district you may meet
Small fertile spot doth grow fine wheat,
There you may find the choicest fruits,
And great, round, smooth and solid roots.

A few fields with sweet southern corn,

The beauty of the fields in fall.

Where the young lady waiters were dressed as dairymaids.
Throughout the world they do extol

For to expect high price for grain,
Wheat is grown on Egyptian soil
On the banks of mighty Nile.

When the machine displaced the flail ;
Theres little work, now, with the hoes,
Since cultivators weed the rows.
