Here are the words of the chorus and first couple of verses of the song that first united our land \u2013 the song that our soldiers marched to in WWI \u2013 establishing forever the maple leaf as an enduring symbol of all that is Canadian.<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/em><\/p>\n

The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,<\/em>
\nThe Maple Leaf forever!<\/em>
\nGod save our Queen and Heaven bless<\/em>
\nThe Maple Leaf forever!<\/em><\/p>\n

In days of yore, from Britain’s shore,<\/p>\n

Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came
\nAnd planted firm Britannia\u2019s flag
\nOn Canada’s fair domain.
\nHere may it wave, our boast our pride
\nAnd, joined in love together,
\nThe thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
\nThe Maple Leaf forever!<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/p>\n

At Queenston Heights and Lundy\u2019s Lane,
\nOur brave fathers, side by side,
\nFor freedom, homes and loved ones dear,
\nFirmly stood and nobly died;
\nAnd those dear rights which they maintained,
\nWe swear to yield them never!
\nOur watchword evermore shall be
\n“The Maple Leaf forever!”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/em><\/p>\n
