168 CANADIAN INSTITUTE. 



" Take you tlie "West and I the East, 



We speak the self same tongue 

 That Milton wrote and Chatham spoke 



And Burns and Shakespear sung ; 

 And from our tongue, our hand, our heart, 



Shall countless blessings flow, 

 To light two darkened hemispheres 



That know not where they go. 



"Our Anglo-Saxon name and fame, 



Our Anglo-Saxon speech, 

 Eeeeived their mission straight from Heaven 



To civilize and teach. 

 So here's my hand, I stretch it forth ; 



Ye meaner lands look on ! 

 • From this day hence there's friendship firm 



'Twixt Jonathan and John !" 



They shook their hands, this noble pair, 



And o'er the " electric chain" 

 Came daily messages of peace 



And love betwixt them twain. 

 When other nations, sore oppressed. 



Lie dark in sorrow's night. 

 They look to Jonathan and John 



And hope for coming light.
