Explore "A Canadian Romance16" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
An English youth to Canada came, / A labourer, John Roe by name, / His little wealth had made him bold, / Twenty sovereigns in gold;
He was industrious and wise / And e'en small sums did not despise, / He added to his wealth each year / For independence he loved dear, / He knew a laborer he would be / Forever in the old country, / His forefathers had tilled the ground / And never one had saved a pound.
