"Land Of The Midnight Sun", "Rory Borealis Land" = Western Canada.

Rory Bore’s pappy woke him up one midnight. He said "you wish to live in the land of the mid night sun; wanna tell you," He said "Now you listen boy:

Always be honest, kindly, simple, true;

Seek good in all, scorn but pretence;

Whatever sorrow come to you,

Believe in Nature-Life’s Beneficence!

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

In Rory Borealis Land, serenely we sit,

And we cease to puzzle over it.

Though there’s still much seems mighty strange, no doubt;

Just remembering  Nature-the Creator- knows what it’s all about;

And in a million years or so

We’ll know more than to-day we know.

Old Evolution’s under way —

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

Could things be other than they are?

All’s in its place, from mote to star.

The Scotch thistle down that flits and flies

Could drift no hair-breadth otherwise.

In Rory Borealis Land, What is, Must be; with rhythmic laws

All Nature chimes, Effect and Cause.

The sand-grain, stars and the sun obey —

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

Just try to get the Rory Borealis Land touch,

The truth is “you” don’t matter much.

A million stars are in the sky;

A million planets plunge and die;

A million million men are sped;

A million million wait ahead.

Each plays his part and has his day —

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

Just try to get the Rory Borealis Land view:

A million million lives made “you”,.

In lives a million you will be

Immortal down Eternity;

Immortal on this earth to range,

WITH NEVER DEATH, BUT EVER CHANGE.

YOU ALWAYS WERE, AND WILL BE AYE —

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

Be glad! And do not blindly grope

For Truth that lies beyond our scope:

A sober plot informeth all

Of Life’s uproarious carnival.

Your day is such a little one,

A gnat that lives from sun to sun;

Yet gnat and you have parts to play —

 In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

learn to ball a jack,

learn to lay a track,

 learn to pick and shovel too,

 and take my hammer,

 it'll do anything you tell it to--

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

When the politician wants the money;

Say “I'll pay you quarter at a time, startin' tomorrow.

What’s  the pay for a builder  of this Land?

 In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I SAY.

Then the Politician He say “Hey hammer swinger,

I see you brought your own hammer boy, but what else can all those muscles do?”

Rory Bore, he say , “I can turn a jack, I can I can build a shack, I can pick and shovel too

(can you swing a hammer boy?)

I can, I’do do anything you hire me to—

 In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

“Now ain't you something so high and mighty;” Says the politician; with your muscles, just go ahead pick up that hammer, pick up the hammer.

Then the politician’ he said get a rusty spike and swing it down three times,

 I'll pay you a nickel a day for every inch you sink it too,

Go on and do what you say you can do.

With a steep nose hammer on a four foot switch panel

 Rory Bore raised it back till it touched his heels,

Then the spike went through the cross tie and it split it half in two—

 In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say; here we’re born driven steel

Rory Boreians hammer in the mountains,

They give a fart, a grunt and groan with every swing,

The women folks for miles around, hear and come down, to watch him.

For they have baked the bread; they have nursed the hurt, they have shred the pain;

Just listen to that cold steel ring, --

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.

But the bad politician, he come up laughing at Rory Bore,

Said “you full of vinegar now, but you bout through,

We’re gonna get a foreign  owned steam drill to do your share of drivin,

Then what's all them muscles gonna do, huh Rori Bore?

We gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you.

Rory Bore said “I do for my family;

Foreign owners, politicians awtta gonna take away MY country;

However hard  yah all scheme and dream.

There ain’t NO substitute for FAMILY, FRIENDS, bread and beans,

I ain't seen it; do such scum get rewarded for blowing steam?  

In Rory Borealis Land, Ye best listen what I say.~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.
