English poem
Canada to England
by Marjorie Pickthall (1883–1922)
CANADA TO ENGLAND GREAT names of thy great captains gone before Beat with our blood who have that blood of thee: Raleigh and Grenville, Wolfe, and all the free Fine souls who dared to front a world in war. Such only may outreach the envious years Where feebler crowns and fainter stars remove, Nurtured in one remembrance and one love Too high for passion and too stern for tears.
