"Hurrah! for the Red Island,

With the white cross on its crown!

Hurrah! for Meccatina,

And its mountains bare and brown!

Where the Caribou's tall antlers

O'er the dwarf wood freely toss,

And the footstep of the Micmac

Has no sound upon the moss.

"Hurrah! Hurrah!—the west wind

Comes freshening down the bay,
