The Best Poem Of William Douw Lighthall
Montreal

Spread wide thy ample robes of state;
The heralds cry that thou art great,
And proud are thy young sons of thee.

Thou risest from thy girlhood's rest;
We see thee conscious heave thy breast
And feel thy rank and thy descent.

And with the Scarlet Tunic wed!
Mount Royal's crown upon thy head;
And past thy footstool, broad and clear,
Saint Lawrence sweeping to the sea:
Reign on, majestic Ville-Marie!
