“Beauteous Isle! I sing of thee,
Mackinac, my Mackinac ;

Thy lake-bound shores I love to see,
Mackinac, my Mackinac.

From Arch Rock's height and shelving steep
To western cliffs and Lover's Leap,
Where memories of the lost one sleep,
Mackinac, my Mackinac.

Thy northern shore trod British foe,
Mackinac, my Mackinac ;

That day saw gallant Holmes laid low,
Mackinac, my Mackinac.

Now Freedom's flag above thee waves,
And guards the rest of fallen braves,
Their requiem sung by Huron's waves,
Mackinac, my Mackinac."

By REV. J. A. VAN FLEET, M.A.
