KESWICK BAY,

LAKE SIMCOE.



To — — — — —



O come from your briefs and your office,
    Break loose from those fetters to-day,
For sweet as the breath of the Summer
    Are the breezes of Keswick Bay,

That play o'er its sky-blue water,
    And the changeful greens of its shore,
As we glide to the dip of the paddle,
    Or fly to the sweep of the oar.
