And through the midnight gloom | B |
A faery scene of woodland green | C |
Her silver rays illume | B |
Dark mountains show a ridge of snow | D |
Against the deep blue sky | A |
And a winding stream with sparkling gleam | B |
Flows merrily murmuring by | A |
Not a sound is heard save a bough when stirred | E |
By the night wind's moaning sigh | A |
Or piercing and shrill echoed back by the hill | F |
A curlew's mournful cry | A |
And twinkling bright in the shadowy night | G |
A lonely taper shines | H |
And seated there is a wanton fair | I |
Who in amorous sadness pines | H |
For her lord is gone and she sits alone | J |
Alone in her mountain home | B |
But 'twas not her lord that she deplored | K |
For she liked to see him roam | B |
The joy in her heart is a bushranger smart | L |
Who lion like prowls in the night | G |
And with supper all spread and a four post bed | M |
She waits by the flickering light | G |
Equipped for fight in trappings bright | G |
Came a band of warriors there | I |
By gallant Sir Fred right gallantly led | M |
The 'ranger to seize in a snare | I |
They spread all around and the house they surround | N |
Nine men with revolver and gun | O |
A reward's on his head cried the gallant Sir Fred | M |
And we're nine to the bushranger's one | O |
Still gleamed the light in the shades of the night | G |
And still the pale moon shone | J |
But no 'ranger came to cheer the dame | B |
As she sat by the window alone | J |
The warriors bold were freezing with cold | P |
And wished they were in their beds | Q |
When the echoing beat of a horse's feet | R |
Sent the blood in a rush to their heads | Q |
At gentle speed on a snow white steed | S |
And singing a joyous song | T |
To the beckoning light in the shadowy night | G |
The bushranger rides along | T |
A stalwart man was he to scan | U |
And flushed with ruffian pride | V |
In many a fray he had won the day | W |
And the New Police defied | V |
Up started then Sir Fred and his men | X |
With cocked carbines in hand | Y |
And called aloud to the 'ranger proud | Z |
On pain of death to stand | Y |
But the 'ranger proud he laughed aloud | Z |
And bounding rode away | W |
While Sir Frederick Pott shut his eyes for a shot | A2 |
And missed in his usual way | W |
His troopers then like valiant men | X |
With their carbines blazed away | W |
The whistling lead on its mission sped | M |
But whither none can say | W |
The snow white steed at a gentle speed | S |
Bore the 'ranger from their view | B2 |
And left Sir Fred to return to bed | M |
There was nothing else to do | B2 |
But Sir Frederick Pott with rage was hot | A2 |
As he looked at his warriors eight | C2 |
They were nine to one with revolver and gun | O |
He cursed his luckless fate | C2 |
He shuddered to think how his glory would sink | D2 |
When the country heard of the mess | E2 |
And the tale was told of his exploits bold | P |
In the columns of the press | E2 |
In fury then he marched his men | X |
To the home of the wanton fair | I |
With warlike din they entered in | F2 |
To search and ransack there | I |
In slumber sound a boy they found | N |
And brave Sir Frederick said | M |
By a flash in the pan we missed the man | U |
So we'll take the boy instead | M |
