Book Description
Excerpt from Place-Names of the Province of Nova Scotia The Indian Names of Canada. The memory of the Red Man, How can it pass away, While their names of music linger On each mount and stream and bay; While Musquodoboit's waters Roll sparkling to the main; While falls the laughing sunbeam On Chegoggin's fields of grain; While floats our country's banner O'er Chebucto's glorious wave, And frowning cliffs of Scatarie The trampling surges brave; While breezy Aspotogan Lifts high its summit blue, And sparkles on its winding way The gentle Sissibou; While Eskasoni's fountains Pour down their crystal tide; While Ingonish's mountains Lift high their forms of pride; Or while on Mabou's river The boatman plies his oar, Or the billows burst in thunder On Chickaben's rock-girt shore? The memory of the Red Man, It lingers like a spell On many a storm-swept headland, On many a leafy dell; Where Tusket's thousand islets Like emeralds stud the deep; Where Blomidon, a sentry grim. His endless watch doth keep. It dwells round Catalone's blue lake, Mid leafy forests hid, Round fair Descouse and the rushing tides Of the turbid Pisiquid; And it lends, Chebogue, a touching grace To thy softly flowing river, As we sadly think of the gentle race That has passed away forever.
