Montreal

REIGN on, majestic Ville-Marie !
Spread wide thy ample robes of state ;
The heralds cry that thou art great,
And proud are thy young sons of thee.
Mistress of half a continent,
Thou risest from thy girlhood's rest;
We see thee conscious heave thy breast
And feel thy rank and thy descent.
Sprung of the saint and chevalier !
And with the Scarlet Tunic wed !
Mount Royal's crown upon thy head ;
And past thy footstool, broad and clear,
St Lawrence sweeping to the sea :
Reign on, majestic Ville-Marie !
