Lines Sent To Thomas Conant Of Oshawa, A Writer Of Canadian Sketches
By James McIntyre
We do greet thee Thomas Conant,
You truthful paint Canadian charms,
And you are the great exponent
Of beauties of her woods and farms.
You give fine sketch of bird and fowl,
Of the blue jay and the plover,
And of great white Canadian owl,
All proves of nature you're a lover.
