## The words

My song is of the sturdy North Whose hills are  
brown with heather, Where countless flowers in  
spring peep forth In spite of wind and weather,  
In spite of wind, In spite of wind and weather.  
The tufted larch is tipped with red Where late  
the sun ca- ressed her, But now she bows her  
stately head Be- fore the keen Norwester.  
Here fitful gleams the waves display That  
thunder on the shingle, There lake and torrent  
far away In liquid music mingle.  
My song, my song is of the sturdy North  
Give me the misty mountain land By ghosts of  
heroes haunted, With one I love at my right  
hand, with one I love, To face the world  
undaunted, To face the world, To face the  
world un daunted.
