VOYAGERS SONG

Author: Henry David Thoreau

Gentle river, gentle river
Swift as glides thy stream along,
Many a bold Canadian voyageur,
Bravely swelled the gay chanson

Thus of old our valiant fathers,
Many a lagging year agone
Gliding oer the rippling waters,
Taught to banish care in song.

Now the sun's behind the willows,
Now he gleams along the lake,
Hark across the bounding billows
Liquid songs the echoes wake.

Rise Apollo up before us,
E'ne the lark's begun her lay
Let us all in deafning chorus
Praise the glorious king of day.

Thus we lead a life of pleasure,
Thus we while the hours away,
Thus we revel beyond measure,
Gaily live we while we may.

( this is just to see if any one gets my joke)

Not quite a "Voyager" song, more like "une chanson des Voyageurs" XD

If the joke is a comparison between Voyager and the voyageurs, point well taken. I enjoyed your joke. ^^  

[StarkT2K]

finaly someone who gets the humor!  

[TPila]

I actually think of Voyager everytime someone talks about the "voyageurs" in history and stuff, so it wasn't that far fetched for someone who had been a Trekkie through out their entire learning of Canadian history. XD

[StarkT2K]
