The moon rides high in a starry skyA
And through the midnight gloomB
A faery scene of woodland greenC
Her silver rays illumeB
Dark mountains show a ridge of snowD
Against the deep blue skyA
And a winding stream with sparkling gleamB
Flows merrily murmuring byA
Not a sound is heard save a bough when stirredE
By the night wind's moaning sighA
Or piercing and shrill echoed back by the hillF
A curlew's mournful cryA
And twinkling bright in the shadowy nightG
A lonely taper shinesH
And seated there is a wanton fairI
Who in amorous sadness pinesH
For her lord is gone and she sits aloneJ
Alone in her mountain homeB
But 'twas not her lord that she deploredK
For she liked to see him roamB
The joy in her heart is a bushranger smartL
Who lion like prowls in the nightG
And with supper all spread and a four post bedM
She waits by the flickering lightG
Equipped for fight in trappings brightG
Came a band of warriors thereI
By gallant Sir Fred right gallantly ledM
The 'ranger to seize in a snareI
They spread all around and the house they surroundN
Nine men with revolver and gunO
A reward's on his head cried the gallant Sir FredM
And we're nine to the bushranger's oneO
Still gleamed the light in the shades of the nightG
And still the pale moon shoneJ
But no 'ranger came to cheer the dameB
As she sat by the window aloneJ
The warriors bold were freezing with coldP
And wished they were in their bedsQ
When the echoing beat of a horse's feetR
Sent the blood in a rush to their headsQ
At gentle speed on a snow white steedS
And singing a joyous songT
To the beckoning light in the shadowy nightG
The bushranger rides alongT
A stalwart man was he to scanU
And flushed with ruffian prideV
In many a fray he had won the dayW
And the New Police defiedV
Up started then Sir Fred and his menX
With cocked carbines in handY
And called aloud to the 'ranger proudZ
On pain of death to standY
But the 'ranger proud he laughed aloudZ
And bounding rode awayW
While Sir Frederick Pott shut his eyes for a shotA2
And missed in his usual wayW
His troopers then like valiant menX
With their carbines blazed awayW
The whistling lead on its mission spedM
But whither none can sayW
The snow white steed at a gentle speedS
Bore the 'ranger from their viewB2
And left Sir Fred to return to bedM
There was nothing else to doB2
But Sir Frederick Pott with rage was hotA2
As he looked at his warriors eightC2
They were nine to one with revolver and gunO
He cursed his luckless fateC2
He shuddered to think how his glory would sinkD2
When the country heard of the messE2
And the tale was told of his exploits boldP
In the columns of the pressE2
In fury then he marched his menX
To the home of the wanton fairI
With warlike din they entered inF2
To search and ransack thereI
In slumber sound a boy they foundN
And brave Sir Frederick saidM
By a flash in the pan we missed the manU
So we'll take the boy insteadM
