Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI JKJKLGMG NONO PQPQ RSRS BHBI B| It lies beyond the Western Pines | A |
| Towards the sinking sun | B |
| And not a survey mark defines | A |
| The bounds of Brumby's Run | B |
| - | |
| On odds and ends of mountain land | C |
| On tracks of range and rock | D |
| Where no one else can make a stand | C |
| Old Brumby rears his stock | D |
| - | |
| A wild unhandled lot they are | E |
| Of every shape and breed | F |
| They venture out 'neath moon and star | E |
| Along the flats to feed | F |
| - | |
| But when the dawn makes pink the sky | G |
| And steals along the plain | H |
| The Brumby horses turn and fly | G |
| Towards the hills again | I |
| - | |
| The traveller by the mountain track | J |
| May hear their hoof beats pass | K |
| And catch a glimpse of brown and black | J |
| Dim shadows on the grass | K |
| The eager stockhorse pricks his ears | L |
| And lifts his head on high | G |
| In wild excitement when he hears | M |
| The Brumby mob go by | G |

| Old Brumby asks no price or fee | N |
| O'er all his wide domains | O |
| The man who yards his stock is free | N |
| To keep them for his pains | O |
| - | |
| So off to scour the mountain side | P |
| With eager eyes aglow | Q |
| To strongholds where the wild mobs hide | P |
| The gully rakers go | Q |
| - | |
| A rush of horses through the trees | R |
| A red shirt making play | S |
| A sound of stockwhips on the breeze | R |
| They vanish far away | S |
| - | |
| Ah me before our day is done | B |
| We long with bitter pain | H |
| To ride once more on Brumby's Run | B |
| And yard his mob again | I |
