New Zealand Farewell 

New Zealand, we have loved this land
of long white clouds, of long long sand,
crystal air and crystal streams
forests, plains and glacier gleams,
mountain sentinels that stand. 

We’ve seen the way this culture blends
history’s values, modern trends;
institutions that display
fierce convictions, fiercer play,
converting tourists into friends. 

The memories that we’ll cherish most
at home on our Canadian coast
are the way you shared yourselves with us
in hostels, homes, on train and bus.
You’ve been a kind and gracious host.
