He lieth, with unstainëd crest,

Calm-sleeping on his chosen soil.

No higher boon may patriot crave

Than grateful country's honest tear;

Whilst Faith, outreaching 'yond the grave,

With stainless emblem decks the bier.

Rare mind! firm as the granite stone

From out thy much-loved Scottish hills;

Soul, clear as sunlight's upper zone

When smiling o'er Canadian rills!
