Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I found this site but I have no idea about Canadian poets or poetry. Could anyone direct me?

The Wikepedia entry says this

The earliest works of poetry, mainly written by visitors, described the new territories in optimistic terms, mainly targeted at a European audience. One of the first works was Robert Hayman's Quodlibets, composed in Newfoundland and published in 1628.

I would be particularly interested in nature poems describing Canada. Any information is appreciated.

Well, the first poem I thought of is The Cremation of Sam McGee.

Check here for a list of Canadian poets and their work.
