    About this ebook

    This work is a collection of beautifully written poems by E. S. MacLeod. The volume starts with verses describing the beauty of Canada, the struggles and evils in Canada, and faith in the future of the country. The poems in this unique collection are delightful, with a profound meaning, yet they remain easy to understand, and each of them is impressively soulful in its own special way. The poet expresses concern regarding the many evils existing in Canada. Still, he hopes for Canada to be a nation of thoughtful, ambitious, and gracious people and free from bigotry, whose belief is in the universal brotherhood of humanity. The collection also contains several fascinating poems on Idylls of the Year, The Siege of Quebec, Rhymes of Ancient Rome, Songs of Scotia, and other miscellaneous poems.
