about

“To give my life by God’s command
/ I leave this troubled land.”

Last lines of a poem said to have been written by Samuel Lount while in prison.

“We die in a good cause; Canada will yet be free.”
Samuel Lount, to his fellow prisoners as he walked to the gallows.

“Be of good courage boys. I am not ashamed of anything I’ve done, I trust in God, and I’m going to die like a man.”
Last words of Samuel Lount, hung for treason 12 April 1838.

“But, sir, this painful relation is sickening and heart-rending, and I shall close my letter to you that I may draw my mind from the horrible subject. Canada will do justice to his memory. Canadians cannot long remain in bondage. They will be free. The lion will give way, and a bold star will eventually ornament the Canadian standard sheet. Then will the name of Canadian martyrs be sung by poets and extolled by orators, while those who now give law to the bleeding people of Canada will be loathed or forgotten by the civilized world.”
Closing of an Open Letter to John Beverley Robinson, Chief Justice of Upper Canada, by Elizabeth Lount, Published in the Pontiac Herald, Michigan, 12 June 1838.

lyrics

Be of good courage boys
I'm not ashamed of anything I've done
And I'm going to die
like a man

We die in good cause
Canada will yet be free
To give my life by God's command
I leave this troubled Land

Canada Will Yet Be Free
Canada Will Yet Be Free
Canada Will Yet Be Free
