“ What answer make to calling voice and beating drum,O Canada! A drum beats through the night and day,Unresting, eager, strident, summoningTo arms. Whose drum thus throbs persistent?Whose? Old England’s, Canada, Old England’s drum.O Canada! A sword gleams, leaping swift to strikeAt foes that press and leap to kill brave menOn guard. Whose sword thus gleams fierce death? ”
