The Maple Leaf Forever is a very old song. It has a great tune, and rousing, patriotic lyrics. I like it much more than O Canada.
I particularly like the third verse:
Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound.
May peace forever be our lot
And plenty a store abound.
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green for freedom's home
The maple leaf forever.
