Poems (Vadlan)/The Maple Land

by Elaine Vadlan

THE MAPLE LAND

The land of fair things,Where the broad rivers singIs the land, where the maple grows.

The land of sunshine,Where the birds sing sublimeIs the land. where the maple grows.

The land of sweet ties,Where the high mountains riseIs the land, where the maple grows.

The land of the free,Where our true hearts should beIs the land, where the maple grows.

The land of our childhood,Where youth roved in wild-wood,Is the land, where the maple grows.

The land we love best,Where our life is at restIs the land, where the maple grows.

The land of our birth,Where we treasure the earthIs the land. where the maple grows.

The land that is dear,Where love lingers all yearIs the land, where the maple grows.
