Canada Poem by Emily Pauline Johnson

Canada

Rating: 2.7


(ACROSTIC)

Crown of her, young Vancouver; crest of her, old Quebec;
Atlantic and far Pacific sweeping her, keel to deck.
North of her, ice and arctics; southward a rival's stealth;
Aloft, her Empire's pennant; below, her nation's wealth.
Daughter of men and markets, bearing within her hold,
Appraised at highest value, cargoes of grain and gold.

I liked the second line- - Atlantic and far Pacific sweeping her, keel to deck.
