| Farmland and forest have known your munificence | E |
| Sweet tender green springs anew in the fields | E |
| Meekly and meetly we hail your beneficence | E |
| Dreaming again fresh glorious yields | E |
| Bountiful rain of your bounty give ear to us | E |
| Yet deem us not for your bounty unfit | F |
| If we remark that just now you appear to us | E |
| Well overdoing it just a wee bit | F |

| The forest's aweep but the rain is still falling | G |
| The farmlands are soaking the paddocks awash | H |
| The swollen hill creeks thro' their gullies go brawling | G |
| And down thro' the cowyard the dairymen slosh | H |
| Shade of old Noah and all his zoology | I |
| Bountiful rain Now the drought threat has ceased | J |
| Might we suggest with an abject apology | I |
| More than enough is as good as a feast | J |
