The fame of the Canadian Horse, / It is heard on many a course, / For it has won oft in the race, / And renowned for graceful pace.
Great change from the Indian pony, / Who in old times was the only / Horse that you could drive or ride, / Now you have the powerful Clyde.
'Tis true that he is rather slow, / But deep he plows so you may sow, / And over any kind of road / He will pull a mighty load.
Of brutes the horse doth lead the van, / And he is the best friend of man;
Well trained, so gentle and so kind, / And next he ranks to man in mind.
