11. 3:25 Barry George Chi Mi Bhuam

I Will See From Me

Chorus:
I can see far off yonder,I can see at the full tide;
I can see my darling Cape Breton,In the distance across the sea.


1. I can see forested Creignish,
With its high, shore-bound slopes;
And Long Point by its side,
Where it was customary to find prosperity and crops.


2. Where the Strathglass people lived
Without want and would put the scythe to good use.
They were courteous and intelligent,
They were confident in their manner.


3. I can see Judique of the sturdy men,
I can see Prominence of the tall men,
The family of James lived there at one time,
Heroes who would win battles.


4. They were virile and intrepid,
Without indiscretion in their deportment;
But when they entered combat
There was no submission to an opponent.


5. I can see Port Hood of the towers,
Where there are shops and a main-street;
I can see Mabou behind it;
That is the place I held dear.
