The Maple Leaf Forever Songtext
von Alan Mills

In days of yore from Britain′s shore
Wolfe the dauntless hero came
And planted firm Britannia's flag
On Canada′s fair domain
Here may it wave our boast, our pride
And joined in love together
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
The maple leaf forever

The maple leaf our emblem dear
The maple leaf forever
God save our Queen and heaven bless
The maple leaf forever


At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane
Our brave fathers side by side
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear
Firmly stood and nobly died
And those dear rights which they maintained
We swear to yield them never
Our watchword evermore shall be
The maple leaf forever

The maple leaf our emblem dear
The maple leaf forever
God save our Queen and heaven bless
The maple leaf forever

Our fair dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound
May peace forever be our lot
And plenty a store abound
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever
And flourish green o'er freedom′s home
The maple leaf forever

The maple leaf our emblem dear
The maple leaf forever
God save our Queen and heaven bless
The maple leaf forever
