Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me whenever I do close my eyes my heart is there with thee Your mountains and great forests of an infinity Sequoias stand majestically ancient serenity What everlasting pleasure lies in your scenery the crumbling walls of what once was beneath a Maple tree Golden fields of waving grain whisper a lullaby the sunset slowly fades away beyond your endless sky Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me I feel thou wisphers in my soul I wish to be with thee I spot a single red deer scent danger in the breeze the slightest noise will make her flee among your mighty trees I see your children playing out on a frozen pond at snowball fights and slapping pucks a magic way beyond Mem'ries of the days gone by engraved into my soul return to you I will some day it's always been my goal Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me thou temptress of my craving heart I long to be with thee Munda |

My God, Munda, this is beautiful! I have read numerous poems about Canada by Canadian poets, and yours is by far the best, with it's rhyme, it's sentiment and the excellent overview of Canada. I absolutely love the last verse! And of course, I agree Thank you so much for re-posting this for me, I really love it! Although you're from the Netherlands, I'm making you a honourary Canadian, my friend  Take care, Melissa Honeybee [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 06-18-2000).] |
