  * Isle of beauty, isle of splendour,
  * Isle to all so sweet and fair,
  * All must surely gaze in wonder
  * At thy gifts so rich and rare.
  * Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
  * All these gifts we do extol.
  * Healthy land, so like all fountains,
  * Giving cheer that warms the soul.
  * Dominica, God hath blest thee
  * With a clime benign and bright,
  * Pastures green and flowers of beauty
  * Filling all with pure delight,
  * And a people strong and healthy,
  * Full of godly reverent fear.
  * May we ever seek to praise Thee
  * For these gifts so rich and rare.
  * Come ye forward, sons and daughters
  * Of this gem beyond compare.
  * Strive for honour, sons and daughters,
  * Do the right, be firm, be fair.
  * Toil with hearts and hands and voices.
  * We must prosper! Sound the call,
  * In which ev'ryone rejoices,
  * "All for Each and Each for All."
