The Gatineau Riverman
"Take me back to my home on the Gatineau.
To hills. sweet with scent of cedar and of pine,
Where Irish eyes, with the light of a blue bird's pinion,
Will, as of yore, look fondly into mine.
"Where a barefoot boy, I roamed in happy hours,
And climbed the trees to view the landscape o'er,
Catching glimpses of a ‘City with its crown of towers’,
Hearing songs from bells in steeples which evening bore
l‘m going home.“
Sogarth Aronn
