A Preamble | B |
- | |
Beneath the greenwood bough W Scott | C |
- | |
- | |
Lightly the breath of the spring wind blows | D |
Though laden with faint perfume | E |
'Tis the fragrance rare that the bushman knows | D |
The scent of the wattle bloom | E |
Two thirds of our journey at least are done | F |
Old horse let us take a spell | G |
In the shade from the glare of the noonday sun | F |
Thus far we have travell'd well | G |
Your bridle I'll slip your saddle ungirth | H |
And lay them beside this log | I |
For you'll roll in that track of reddish earth | H |
And shake like a water dog | I |
- | |
Upon yonder rise there's a clump of trees | J |
Their shadows look cool and broad | K |
You can crop the grass as fast as you please | J |
While I stretch my limbs on the sward | L |
'Tis pleasant I ween with a leafy screen | M |
O'er the weary head to lie | N |
On the mossy carpet of emerald green | M |
'Neath the vault of the azure sky | N |
Thus all alone by the wood and wold | A |
I yield myself once again | O |
To the memories old that like tales fresh told | A |
Come flitting across the brain | P |
