Fleurs De Lys, and Other Poems

"Fleurs De Lys, and Other Poems" by Arthur Weir is a collection where the past whispers through verses celebrating Canada's story, the allure of the natural world, and the intricate dance of human emotions. With the fleur-de-lis as a guiding symbol, Weir weaves poems that echo the French heritage within the Canadian identity.
