Emblems of storm and danger,
Spindrift and mountain stern,
Plants that welcome the stranger-
Seaweed, tussock, and fern.

Known to the world-wide ranger,
Who sailed on the -Never Return,�
Emblems of storm and danger-
Flax and tussock and fern.

Plants that welcome the stranger,
Sea-swept and driven astern,
Beloved by the wide-world ranger-
Seaweed, tussock, and fern.
