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.
