In the year of 1583,
The knight of Devon sailed across the sea,
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, bold and brave,
To Newfoundland, his flag to wave.
With a heart of iron and eyes of steel,
He sought new lands for England's seal,
Through stormy seas and cliffside coasts,
He led his men, a fearless host.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, the pioneer,
In Newfoundland, he drew near,
With dreams of empire, strong and grand,
He claimed the wild and distant land.
From Devon's shores, he set his sail,
With hope and courage, he wouldn't fail,
He reached St. John's, the harbor bright,
And planted England's banner in the night.
He spoke of glory, of future days,
Of riches found in ocean's bays,
A vision clear, a destiny,
To carve a place in history.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, the pioneer,
In Newfoundland, he drew near,
With dreams of empire, strong and grand,
He claimed the wild and distant land.
Yet shadows cross his legacy, not all was paved with gold,
For conquest brought its sorrows, as history has told.
No quarter he claimed, with disregard and might,
Left wounds upon the earth, still felt in modern light.
But fate is cruel, the seas are wide,
On his return, the waves did chide,
The Squirrel sank beneath the waves,
Sir Humphrey met a sailor's grave.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, the pioneer,
In Newfoundland, he drew near,
With dreams of empire, strong and grand,
He claimed the wild and distant land.
Though he was lost, his dream survived,
In Newfoundland, his spirit thrived,
For in that land, a seed was sown,
A British legacy, now known.
His name lives on, in history's page,
A tale of battle, a bloody age,
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, bold and true,
In Newfoundland, his dreams grew.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, the pioneer,
In Newfoundland, he drew near,
With dreams of empire, strong and grand,
He claimed the wild and distant land.
