Such an evening - such seenes, such a ride, what bliss But some tinge of sadness tinctures this There is the path - there is the hou5e - I weep
Under the daisies - a dreamless sleep.
We speed to the cottage where Maggie Ann And her worthy consort Happy Dan34 Are breaking the record with rake and hoe
Making the onions and parsnips grow.
And I hear the little waves laugh and say "Come all and have dinner, Dominion Day
At the Cliff,35 at the Cliff on the Old North Shore
With the sea and the charm and the wild uproar."
Speed on Chevrolet as I sing my tune Through the Harbour Road 'neath the gleaming moon Oh, naught on earth holds such charm for me
As the twilight hour by the grand old sea.
