Oh, proud the day that gave her birth!
And proud her natal town!
Oh, may the theme the verse redeem,
Of meagre wit and rhyming loose,
And win a kind indulgence still
For Mary Susan Goose!
Entered according to Act of the
Parliament of Canada, in the year
one thousand nine hundred, by
William Briggs, at the Department
of Agriculture.
