Overview

Excerpt from The O. A. C. Review, Vol. 35: Ontario Agricultural College; December 1922 I sing you a song of Canadian Winter; It is set to the tune of the jingling bells And its chorus hangs neither on speaker nor printer, But free in the bosom its melody swell Its step is the stride of the hardy snowshoer, Its rhythm the sigh of the breeze through the pine And never Canadian suitor or wooer Cared more for his cause than I covet for mine! When Summer and sunshine, and gladness and glory, Are flooding the earth, and the air and the sea Our sources of happiness coxme like a story To which we but listen and laugh in our glee; But winter demands we should make our enjoyment In converse and friendship with all, as we can We are what we make ourselves; Winter employment Is making acquaintance with mind and with man! Then out with the snowshoes, and rein up the horses! And let the snow batter from hoof and from heel Command the toboggan, and vie with the forces Of nature in swiftness - no fear shall we feel! With snowshoes, and sledges, and skates, and good nature A smile in the morning, a welcome at night We value our Winter, in every loved feature; The high n'oon of friendship - the prime of delight.
