Not as the songs of other lands	A
nbsp nbsp nbsp Her song shall be	B
Where dim Her purple shore line stands	A
nbsp nbsp nbsp Above the sea	B
As erst she stood she stands alone	C
Her inspiration is her own	C
From sunlit plains to mangrove strands	A
Not as the songs of other lands	A
nbsp nbsp nbsp Her song shall be	B
	-
O Southern Singers Rich and sweet	D
nbsp nbsp nbsp Like chimes of bells	E
The cadence swings with rhythmic beat	D
nbsp nbsp nbsp The music swells	E
But undertones weird mournful strong	F
Sweep like swift currents thro' the song	F
In deepest chords with passion fraught	G
In softest notes of sweetest thought	G
nbsp nbsp nbsp This sadness dwells	E
	-
Is this her song so weirdly strange	H
nbsp nbsp nbsp So mixed with pain	I
That whereso'er her poets range	H
nbsp nbsp nbsp Is heard the strain	I
Broods there no spell upon the air	J
But desolation and despair	J
No voice save Sorrow's to intrude	K
Upon her mountain solitude	K
nbsp nbsp nbsp Or sun kissed plain	I
	-
The silence and the sunshine creep	L
nbsp nbsp nbsp With soft caress	M
O'er billowy plain and mountain steep	L
nbsp nbsp nbsp And wilderness	N
A velvet touch a subtle breath	O
As sweet as love as calm as death	O
On earth on air so soft so fine	P
Till all the soul a spell divine	P
nbsp nbsp nbsp O'ershadoweth	O
	-
The gray gums by the lonely creek	Q
nbsp nbsp nbsp The star crowned height	R
The wind swept plain the dim blue peak	Q
nbsp nbsp nbsp The cold white light	R
The solitude spread near and far	S
Around the camp fire's tiny star	S
The horse bell's melody remote	T
The curlew's melancholy note	T
nbsp nbsp nbsp Across the night	R
	-
These have their message yet from these	U
nbsp nbsp nbsp Our songs have thrown	C
O'er all our Austral hills and leas	U
nbsp nbsp nbsp One sombre tone	C
Whence doth the mournful keynote start	V
From the pure depths of Nature's heart	V
Or from the heart of him who sings	W
And deems his hand upon the strings	W
nbsp nbsp nbsp Is Nature's own	C
	-
Could tints be deeper skies less dim	X
nbsp nbsp nbsp More soft and fair	J
Dappled with milk white clouds that swim	X
nbsp nbsp nbsp In faintest air	J
The soft moss sleeps upon the stone	C
Green scrub vine traceries enthrone	C
The dead gray trunks and boulders red	Y
Roofed by the pine and carpeted	Z
nbsp nbsp nbsp With maidenhair	J
	-
But far and near o'er each o'er all	A2
nbsp nbsp nbsp Above below	B2
Hangs the great silence like a pall	C2
nbsp nbsp nbsp Softer than snow	B2
Not sorrow is the spell it brings	W
But thoughts of calmer purer things	W
Like the sweet touch of hands we love	D2
A woman's tenderness above	D2
nbsp nbsp nbsp A fevered brow	J
	-
These purple hills these yellow leas	U
nbsp nbsp nbsp These forests lone	C
These mangrove shores these shimmering seas	U
nbsp nbsp nbsp This summer zone	C
Shall they inspire no nobler strain	C
Than songs of bitterness and pain	C
Strike her wild harp with firmer hand	E2
And send her music thro' the land	E2
nbsp nbsp nbsp With loftier tone	C
	-
Her song is silence unto her	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp Its mystery clings	W
Silence is the interpreter	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp Of deeper things	W
O for sonorous voice and strong	F
To change that silence into song	F
To give that melody release	F2
Which sleeps in the deep heart of peace	F2
nbsp nbsp nbsp With folded wings	W
