NEWFOUNDLAND!
There lies a land in the west and north
Whither the bravest men went forth,
And daunted not by fog or ice
They came at last to a Paradise.
Full two thousand miles it lay
Washed by a sea of English grey;
And they called it Newfoundland at sight,
It's rather the land of Heart's Delight. I have seen the Mediterranean's blue
Lazily lapping the southern shores,
And groves where the orange blossoms grow,
And the cypress shading cathedral doors.
I have seen the moon in the desert place
Flooding the pyramid's stony face,
And crowned by the banks of the sacred Nile,
Pharoahs, carved in an ancient style;
All I have loved and known.
But on moonlight nights, in the land I love,
I have slept with the stars and trees above,
By a big log fire that sputters and creeks,
And a river that sobs itself to sleep,
And perhaps with frightened eyes that blink
The timid deer comes down to drink;
These I have loved and known. Page Ninety-One
I have seen sweet places in foreign lands,
Gardens tended by cunning hands,
Houses old as the hills in fame,
Bearing the weight of a noble name;
All I have seen and known.
But Nature gardens the land I choose,
And gives her names such as lovers use;
Fortune Bay-was the fortune Love?
Conception-borrowed from Heaven above;
Breakheart Point-what a world of woe-
A maiden watching her lover go.
Heart's Content-here they came at last,
When the toil and grief of their life was past;
These I have loved and known. There lies a land in the west and north
Whither the bravest men went forth;
And daunted not by fog nor ice
They came at last to a Paradise.
A land to be won by the men who durst,
No wonder the British chose it first,
And they called it Newfoundland at sight,
It's rather the land of Heart's Delight. Page Ninety-Two
