THE WIDE sun stares without a cloud	A
Whipped by his glances truculent	B
The earth lies quivering and cowed	A
My heart is hot with discontent	C
I hate this haggard continent	B
	-
But over the loping leagues of sea	D
A lone land calls to her children free	D
My own land holding her arms to me	D
But oh the long loping leagues of sea	D
	-
The grey old city is dumb with heat	E
No breeze comes leaping naked rude	F
Adown the narrow high walled street	E
Upon the night thick perfumes brood	F
The evening oozes lassitude	F
	-
But over the edges of my town	G
Swept in a tide that ne er abates	H
The riotous breezes tumble down	G
My heart looks home looks home where waits	H
The Windy City of the Straits	H
	-
The land lies desolate and stripped	F
Across its waste has thinly strayed	F
A tattered host of eucalypt	F
From whose gaunt uniform is made	F
A ragged penury of shade	F
	-
But over my isles the forest drew	I
A mantle thick save where a peak	J
Shows his grim teeth a snarl and through	I
The filtered coolness creek and creek	J
Tangled in ferns in whispers speak	J
	-
And there the placid great lakes are	K
And brimming rivers proudly force	L
Their ice cold tides Here like a scar	K
Dry lipped a withered water course	L
Crawls from a long forgotten source	L
	-
My glance home gazing scarce discerns	M
This listless girl in whose dark hair	N
A starry red hibiscus burns	M
Her pallid cheeks are like a pair	N
Of nuns bloom ravished yet so fair	N
	-
And like a sin her warm lips flame	O
In her wan face swift passions brim	P
In those brown eyes too soft for blame	O
Her form is sinuous and slim	P
That lyric line of breast and limb	P
	-
But one there waits whose brown face glows	Q
Whose cheeks with Winter s kisses smart	F
The flushing petals of a rose	Q
Of earth and sun she is a part	F
Her brow is Greek and Greek her heart	F
	-
At love she laughs a faint disdain	R
Her heart no weakly one to charm	S
Robust and fragrant as the rain	R
The dark bush soothed her with his balm	T
The mountains gave her of their calm	T
	-
Her fresh young figure lithe and tall	U
Her radiant eyes her brow benign	V
She is the peerless queen of all	U
The maid the country that I shrine	V
In this far banished heart of mine	V
	-
And over the loping leagues of green	W
A lone land waits with a hope serene	W
My own land calls like a prisoner queen	W
But oh the long loping leagues between	W
