Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAECCCC FGFGHAHA GIGJCACAKFKFALAL| Hark the bells of distant cattle | A |
| Waft across the range | B |
| Through the golden tufted wattle | A |
| Music low and strange | B |
| Like the marriage of peal fairies | C |
| Comes the tinkling sound | D |
| Or like chimes of sweet St Mary's | C |
| On far English ground | D |
| How my courser champs the snaffle | A |
| And with nostrils spread | E |
| Snorts and scarcely seems to ruffle | A |
| Fern leaves with his tread | E |
| Cool and pleasant on his haunches | C |
| Blows the evening breeze | C |
| Through the overhanging branches | C |
| Of the wattle trees | C |
| - | |
| Onward to the Southern Ocean | F |
| Glides the breath of Spring | G |
| Onward with a dreamy motion | F |
| I too glide and sing | G |
| Forward forward still we wander | H |
| Tinted hills that lie | A |
| In the red horizon yonder | H |
| Is the goal so nigh | A |
| - | |
| Whisper spring wind softly singing | G |
| Whisper in my ear | I |
| Respite and nepenthe bringing | G |
| Can the goal be near | J |
| Laden with the dew of vespers | C |
| From the fragrant sky | A |
| In my ear the wind that wispers | C |
| Seems to make reply | A |
| 'Question not but live and labour | K |
| 'Til yon goal be won | F |
| Helping every feeble neighbour | K |
| Seeking help from none | F |
| Life is mostly froth and bubble | A |
| Two things stand like stone | L |
| Kindness in another's trouble | A |
| Courage in your own | L |
