| To me thy father as the morning light | B |
| Which makes all common objects fresh and bright | B |
| Yea gives them out of the dun void to start | A |
| As they were newly fashion d from the Night | B |
| For long there was a darkness round my heart | A |
| Until thy mother made her life a part | A |
| Of mine to pierce it with Love s genial might | B |
| The Aurora she and the young Morning thou | C |
| Of a new era in my worldly way | D |
| Whence it behoves me heedfully to plough | C |
| The future for thy sake and for the vow | C |
| That I have made to make thee if I may | D |
| A Man right worthy of our Australia | E |
