Half lost in film of faintest lawn	A
A single star in armour white	B
Upon the dreamy heights of dawn	A
Guards dim frontier of the night	B
Till plumed ray	C
And golden spray	C
Have washed its trembling light away	C
	-
The sun has peeped above the blue	D
His level lances as they pass	E
Have shot the dew drops thro' and thro'	C
And dashed with rubies all the grass	E
And silver sound	F
Of horse bells round	F
Floats softly o'er the jewelled ground	F
	-
The sunbeam and the wanton wind	G
Among the feathery tufts at play	C
Sing to the earth The night is blind	G
But we will kiss your tears away	C
With broad'ning glow	H
And rippling flow	H
Adown the laughing leagues they go	H
	-
The vagrant lark on wayward winds	I
Is fluttering low is floating high	J
No Northern trill of rapture rings	K
Tho' the vast temple of the sky	J
But not in vain	L
Thy southern strain	L
Thou brown winged angel of the plain	L
	-
Here where the days are dull and grey	C
And youth has stilled his joyous song	M
In fancy yet I love to stray	C
By creek and plain and billabong	M
To the curlew's call	N
And the noiseless fall	N
Of the unshod hoof 'neath the gum trees tall	N
	-
I hear one more the plovers peet	O
The grey hawk wheels in dizzy height	B
And swift beneath my horse's feet	O
The brown quail rises in his fright	B
And the galahs fly	J
With pink breasts high	J
A rosy cloud in a cloudless sky	J
	-
Afar I mark the emu's run	P
The bustard slow in motley clad	Q
And basking in his bath of sun	P
The brown snake on the cattle pad	Q
And the reddish black	M
Of a dingo's back	M
As he loit'ring slinks on my horse's track	M
	-
And now I watch with slackened rein	L
The scattered cattle hundreds strong	M
As slowly moving home again	R
The lazy vanguard feeds along	M
To the waters cool	S
Of the tree fringed pool	S
In the distant creek when the noon is full	T
	-
Slip girth and let the old horse graze	U
The noon grows heavy on the air	C
Kindle the tiny camp fire's blaze	U
And neath the shade as monarch there	C
Take thou thine ease	V
For hours like these	V
A king had bartered satrapies	V
	-
Here lie and watch thro' smoke wreaths cool	S
By yon sunk log and floating wrack	M
The emporer of the silent pool	S
The stately heron white and black	M
Afar from heat	O
Upon his beat	O
Knee deep in shallowy retreat	O
	-
O mellow air O sunny light	B
O hope and youth that pass away	C
Inscribe in letters of delight	B
Upon each heart one golden day	C
To be there set	W
When we forget	W
There is a joy in living yet	W
