I hear thee echo And I start to hear thee	A
With a strange shock as from among the hills	B
Thy voice reverbering in swift murmurs near me	A
Dies down the stream or with its gurgle low	C
Blends whisperingly until my bosom thrills	B
With gentle tribulations that endear thee	A
But speak not of the present Twas as though	C
Some spirit of the past were then a near thee	A
Bringing back days of life s regretted spring	D
Waking wild recollections to evince	E
How strong the ties that bind me to each thing	D
Loved though long since	E
It seems but yesterday that last I stood	F
Beside the Hawksbury even as now I stand	G
By the swift Hunter challenging o er the flood	H
An echo thus but with a glorious brood	I
Of hopes then glowing round me and a band	G
Of schoolmates and young creatures of my blood	H
All quick with joyousness beyond command	G
And now with that delightful time O Where	J
Are those quick joys glad mates and hopes of good	F
Echo declare	J
	-
Thy voice comes o er the waters in reply	K
To fail as soon And all those young delights	L
Decayed as thy peculiar accents die	K
In the dusk valleys of past days and nights	L
To be renewed not like thy ghostly chide	M
And one to the other of those joyous creatures	N
Now burthened with their manhoods in the wide	M
World s separations have the names and features	N
Thus wasted out of mind And so at last	O
Those glorious hopes are all become but lonely	A
And dying echoes of the hollow past	O
All but one only	A
	-
E en that around my being only strays	P
Like a recurring sound In lonesome ways	P
Like these it moves me still not as of yore	Q
In clear strong tones though yet its spirit plays	P
Upon the same old promise that when o er	R
My country s homes shine fair those riper days	P
Her better sons shall learn to prize	S
My lonely voice upon the past	O
And so there may at last	O
From time s dim void an echo thence arise	S
Responsive to the swell	T
Of their full souls beneath these Austral skies	S
