Songs of the Great Dominion is a book written by William Douw Lighthall in 1889. The book is a collection of poems and songs that celebrate the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Canada. The poems are divided into four sections: voices from the forests and waters, the settlement, the cities, and the conclusion.The first section of the book focuses on the natural world of Canada, with poems describing the beauty of the forests, rivers, and lakes. The second section explores the history of Canada, with poems describing the struggles and triumphs of the early settlers who built the country. The third section celebrates the cities of Canada, with poems about the bustling streets and vibrant culture of urban life.Throughout the book, Lighthall celebrates the diversity of Canadian culture, with poems about the First Nations people, the French and English settlers, and the immigrants who have come to Canada from all over the world. The book is a tribute to the unique character of Canada and its people, and a celebration of the country’s rich history and natural beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
