Stratford.

By James McIntyre

Our Canadian county Perth, Commemorates great bard of earth, Stratford and Avon both are here, And they enshrine the name Shakespeare. For here in Stratford every ward Is named from dramas of great bard, Here you may roam o'er Romeo, Or glance on Juliet bestow. And it is a railway centre, Many a train doth here enter, And railroad shops do men employ, And gives them work and wealth and joy.
