The work focuses on themes of nature, patriotism, and historical events, particularly significant battles in Canadian history. Through a range of lyrical expressions, Wilkinson evokes a sense of national pride and connection to the land.  The opening of the collection presents a preface where the author shares his intentions and acknowledges his artistic insecurities. Wilkinson expresses a desire to capture the beauty of various themes, including love, nature, and historical struggles for freedom. The first poem, "What Shall I Sing?," illustrates the poet's internal contemplation on the themes he could explore, touching on the joys of home, the glory of war, and the splendors of nature. This excerpt sets the stage for a broader reflection on Canada’s historical and cultural identity, inviting readers into a rich tapestry of emotion and thought.
