I fancied May when New France would revive:      
The flocks of swallows and the croaks of frogs,    
The tulip gardens and the girls in clogs.        
Then summer would allow the sun to thrive        
For just as long as it took for lads to wive;        
That was soon over. Hail to autumn fogs          
And coloured leaves, the time when father slogs    
In fields of corn, the winter to survive.  
The leafless trees, the icy roads, the snow      
And bitter cold, they all conspired to            
Make me depart my country for a beach,            
To leave it all behind for Baguio.                
Today, to see fair May and all anew                
A flight to Canada do I beseech.
