Amy Beach - A Canadian Boat Song Lyrics

Faintly as tolls the evening chime
Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time
Soon as the woods on shore look dim
We'll sing at St. Anne's our parting hymn
Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast
The Rapids are near and the daylight's past!

Why should we yet our sail unfurl?
There is not a breath the blue wave to curl;
But, when the wind blows off the shore
Oh! sweetly we'll rest our weary oar
Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast
The Rapids are near and the daylight's past!

Utawas' tide! this trembling moon
Shall see us float over thy surges soon
Saint of this green isle! hear our prayers
Oh, grant us cool heavens and favouring airs
Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast
The Rapids are near and the daylight's past!
