CALEDONIA, MY COUNTRY!

Caledonia, my country! How bright is the fame,

Like a halo of glory, that circles thy name;

When thy children remember their fathers' renown,

Can they, faithless, consent e'er to sully thy crown?

In the battles of freedom, the hot fields of fight,

Thy great men of old stoutly fought for the right;

By their conquering swords, blessed and aided by Heaven,
