I have seen the plains lying baked and bare	A
When drought and famine hold revel there	A
And the cattle sink where the rotting shoals	B
Of the fish float dead in the waterholes	B
	-
I have seen the plains when the flood brings down	C
The leagues of its waters sullen and brown	C
When only the tops of the swaying trees	B
Mark the creek that wound thro the level leas	B
And all is a sea to the straining eyes	B
Save some lonely hut on a distant rise	B
	-
I have seen the plains in the mad delight	D
Of the racing flames in their crimson flight	D
When the whip of the wind will not stay or spare	A
And woe to the rider who lingers there	A
	-
But O the plains when their beauty burst	E
On our wondering eyes as we crossed them first	E
When the sun shone bright and a soft wind blew	F
And the sky was clear with a fairy hue	F
And afar like an isle in a sea of mist	G
Rose a mountain cap as of amethyst	G
And the big horned cattle knee deep in grass	B
Wheeled scattered legions to watch us pass	B
As we drifted onwards from group to group	H
And swift as a bolt came the wild hawk s swoop	H
When the brown quail whirled neath our horses feet	I
Or the bronzewing broke from his ground retreat	I
And the lazy bustard on laggard wing	J
Out of easy gunshot was loitering	J
And for miles around us at daylight s close	B
The little flock pigeons in coveys rose	B
And the squadrons flew with a gathering force	B
Till an army darkened the watercourse	B
	-
Thus we crossed the plains to their utmost rim	K
To the timbered belts round the mountains grim	K
Chain upon chain to the north and west	L
Rose the swelling ridge and the purple crest	L
And the gorges hid from the light of God	M
Where the foot of a white man had never trod	M
