"The Far Northland" is a song from the "Songs for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts" with words by Carol Preston. When I paddled the Boundary Waters as a Boy Scout, we also sang a version of it. 

It's the far Northland that's a calling me away
As take I with my packsack to the road
It's the call on me of the forest in the north, as step I with the sunlight for my load. 
From Lake Agnes by Louisa to Kawnipi I will go
Where you see the loon and hear its plaintive wail. 
If you're thinking in your inner heart there's a swagger in my step,
Then you've never been along the Border Trail.
It's the splash of paddle blades a'gleamin in the Sun
Of canoes softly skimming by the shore
It's the tang of pine and bracken comin on the breeze
That calls me to the waterways once more.
From Lake Agnes by Louisa to Kawnipi I will go
Where you see the loon and hear its plaintive wail.
If you're thinking in your inner heart, there's a swagger in my step,
Then you've never been along the border Trail.
