A solid rock, a rough cut gem

Polished by the surging narrows.

The summer sun beams iridescent light

Revealing hidden facets of this ocean jewel.

Clear sparkling lakes reflect the northwest sky.

Green forests cloak the rugged mountains high.

Soft breezes kiss the misty island's shore.

Chasing rainbows

Where orcas sing and eagles soar.

A hundred thousand welcomes

To our garden by the sea.

Where the bright begonias blossom

By the shady maple tree.

View the ocean from the front lawn

As the ships go sailing by.

You may even see an eagle

As he sweeps across the sky.

When the flowers and trees are blooming

And the place is looking grand

Come share our piece of heaven

In this green and pleasant land.

A pebble on an ocean vast

A million years before the mast.

A pearl forged by tidal surge

Pure beauty by the tempest purged.

Green grandeur clad the barren rock

Where eagle gull and heron flock.

Time and tide refined this jewel

Who's beauty grew with natures fuel.

Through winter storm and summer rain

Fair Quadra's soul is born again.
