Edgar Guest - The Princess Pat’sEdgar Guest - The Princess Pat’s
Work rating: Low


  A touch of the plain and the prairie,     A bit of the Motherland, too;   A strain of the fur-trapper wary,     A blend of the old and the new;   A bit of the pioneer splendor     That opened the wilderness` flats,   A touch of the home-lover, tender,     You`ll find in the boys they call Pat`s.   The glory and grace of the maple,     The strength that is born of the wheat,   The pride of a stock that is staple,     The bronze of a midsummer heat;   A blending of wisdom and daring,     The best of a new land, and that`s   The regiment gallantly bearing     The neat little title of Pat`s.   A bit of the man who has neighbored     With mountains and forests and streams,   A touch of the man who has labored     To model and fashion his dreams;   The strength of an age of clean living,     Of right-minded fatherly chats,   The best that a land could be giving     Is there in the breasts of the Pat`s.
