"Land of the Silver Birch" is a traditional Canadian folk song. The lyrics are based on a poem by Pauline Johnson. It is sometimes sung to keep time while canoeing, and sometimes sung at campfires in a round. It is in Aeolian, or natural minor, but some have performed it with a raised sixth, creating a Dorian feel.
