Description

A heartfelt anthology that weaves together verses of celebration, longing, and remembrance, offering listeners a melodic portrait of a nation at the turn of the century. The opening pieces chant patriotic pride, urging listeners to honor a sovereign and imagine a future guided by truth and justice, while later poems turn inward, exploring the restless sea of the Quinte and the wistful yearning for distant horizons.

Interlaced with gentle lullabies of hope and tender reflections on lost school‑house memories, the collection shifts between grand communal anthems and intimate confidences. The language is vivid yet accessible, inviting listeners to picture moonlit waves, autumnal leaves, and sun‑kissed shorelines, all while feeling the quiet strength of enduring love and friendship. Perfect for a quiet evening or a contemplative walk, this booklet of verse provides a soothing tapestry of Canadian spirit and timeless emotion.
