"Fleurs De Lys, and Other Poems" is a collection of poems about life in colonial Canada in the Monarchial, or Fleur de Lys, period of French domination in Canada. The poems refer to the scenes and incidents observed by the author in those times and subtly reflect the culture, customs, and traditions of the bygone era.

This is a captivating collection of Canadian poetry by Arthur Weir. Born in Montreal, Weir started writing poetry at a very young age. His initial attempt at poetry was when he wrote it for his school friends. Weir was regarded as one of the youngest sonneteers of his time. He published two volumes of poetry that earned him the position of a poet. The Snowflake, and Other Poems, appeared in 1896 and was his third volume. It contains some of his best-known verses, such as The Snowflake, To Scotland, Alladin's Lamp, etc. Arthur Weir used a charming style of writing in his poems, and they were always delightful and easy to follow. He preferred to be realistic and simple, rather than odd, dramatic, and complex.
