From storm, Tecumseh's death made poor!

And thou, small water, red with war,

'Twixt Beaubassin and Beauséjour!

Dread Saguenay, where eagles soar,

What voice shall from the bastioned shore

The tale of Roberval reveal

Or his mysterious fate deplore?

Annapolis, do thy floods yet feel

Faint memories of Champlain's keel,

Thy pulses yet the deed repeat
