And scream thine hate, proud bird of France, beyond thy northern shore,
Perfidious Albion drapes her halls for one who is no more.
Farewell, the last and brightest star of England's chivalry,
'Neath orient skies thou sleepest well, O gallant Burnaby!
SARA JEANETTE DUNCAN COTES
THE POET
O VERY, very far from our dull earth,
The land where poets spring to glorious birth.
