Granite hums through buried years
Holding joy recording tears
History rests in faultless vein
Memory carved through loss and gain
No decree can change its code
Truth endures through weathered mode
Every mark a tale of birth
Every crack a pulse of earth
Builders pause their hands recall
How silence speaks for one and all
Stone remains though time decays
Witness bound to endless days
Canada built on rock and lore
Spirit older than the shore
