Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGGHH IBIBJJKK ALMLNNOO| Is it the dawn of a Golden Age | A |
| And a swift release from pain | B |
| The politicians fight and rage | A |
| Where doubt and chaos reign | B |
| But out on the fields with one accord | C |
| And small concern for bed or board | C |
| Men follow the lure of the Golden Star | D |
| Out where the sand and the mulgas are | D |

| Oh the old dry blower's out again | E |
| And the windlass pan and pick | F |
| For hope high hope has come to men | E |
| Where the miners muster thick | F |
| They have made a strike at the seventy mile | G |
| And the urgent fever grows the while | G |
| And luck may come or fortune frown | H |
| But these are men who are ne'er cast down | H |

| A lucky find by the old creek bed | I |
| A shaft in the blue bush plain | B |
| And a thousand hungry folk are fed | I |
| A reef with a wide rich vein | B |
| And a nation knows surcease of gloom | J |
| Depression changes to a boom | J |
| And the fever grows as the news goes forth | K |
| From Leeuwin to the farthest north | K |

| Is it the dawn of a Golden Age | A |
| Oh the ways of man are strange | L |
| For the miner's hectic pilgrimage | M |
| By hungry plain or range | L |
| Where never a blade of wheat has grown | N |
| Where never a seed has yet been sown | N |
| Shall feed the land if 'neath this ground | O |
| Gold and the hope of men be found | O |
