Explore "Patriot Fighting for his Home" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the shores of the northern lakes / An infant giant now awakes, / He has long time been in a dream, / But now is roused by engine's scream.
For mighty spirits are abroad / Traversing of each great railroad, / For it is a glorious theme / The peaceful conquest made by steam.
But should the foot of invader vile / Ever desecrate his soil, / He firm will meet him bold and brave / And give him soil Canadian grave.
