Analysis of The Maple Leaf Flag
1. Canadians cheer your symbol so great,
The Canada Maple Leaf Flag.
An emblem displayed from east to west,
The wonderful Maple Leaf Flag.
2. The Maple Leaf Flag spreads out like a Cross,
Shines well and to God up above.
Waving so free in the gentle soft breeze,
Like a beautiful flying white dove.
