Behold The Enchanting Country

by Patrick J. O'Connor


A collection of poems on Canada.

The city declares fresh, new, clear,

In the courses of an Orwellian year.

The CN Tower stands sky high

('Toronto Odyssey)

Cartier, the mariner from St.Malo,

Divined it as the land God gave to Cain,

Begetting the cult of Terra Nova

As an old story of the world

(Finding 'Terra Nova')

Light reconciles seer and seen.

Fly Winnipeg-Edmonton in the Fall

Late afternoon in the clear air

('Light')
