Its cities bordering on its forests, its fair landscapes,

Its dales, its waters, and its vales,

Its white seamews, and its beauteous women;

I love its warriors, and its well-trained steeds,

Its woods, its strongholds, and its social domicile;

I love its fields clothed with tender trefoil,

Where I had the glory of a lasting triumph;

I love its cultivated regions, the prerogative of heroism,

Its far extended wilds, and its sports of the chase,

Which, Son of God! are great and wonderful.
