THE BATTLE OF QUEENSTON
Again, with confidence elate,
The invading Foe has found
A captive's unexpected fate,
On our Canadian ground.
Triumphant, as before, though still
Out number'd by the Foe,
Our Chiefs again have shown how skill
Can deal the unerring blow.
The invading Foe has found
A captive's unexpected fate,
On our Canadian ground.
Triumphant, as before, though still
Out number'd by the Foe,
Our Chiefs again have shown how skill
Can deal the unerring blow.
Again we boast—but with a sigh—
A brilliant day's career;
For BROCK demands from every eye
The tribute of a tear!
Devoted to his Country's Cause,
The Soldier's debt he paid,
From age to age, with just applause,
His name shall be convey'd.

For BROCK demands from every eye
The tribute of a tear!
Devoted to his Country's Cause,
The Soldier's debt he paid,
From age to age, with just applause,
His name shall be convey'd.
