Canada

By Munda

 

Canada, oh Canada

What hast thou done with me

Whenever I do close my eyes

My heart is there with thee

 

Your mountains and great forests

Of such infinity

Sequoias stand majestically

Ancient serenity

 

What everlasting pleasure

Lies in your scenery

The crumbling walls of what once was

Beneath a Maple tree

 

Golden fields of waving grain

Whisper a lullaby

The sunset slowly fades away

Beyond your endless sky

 

Canada, oh Canada

What hast thou done with me

I feel thy whispers in my soul

I wish to be with thee

 

I spot a single red deer

Scent danger in the breeze

The slightest noise will make her flee

Among your mighty trees

 

I see your children playing

Out on a frozen pond

At snowball fights and slapping pucks

A magic way beyond

 

Memories of days gone by

Engraved into my soul

Return to you I will some day

It’s always been my goal

 

Canada, oh Canada

What hast thou done with me

Thou temptress of my craving heart

I long to be with thee
