A handful of workers seeking the star of a strong intent	A
A handful of heroes scattered to conquer a continent	B
Thirst and fever and famine drought and ruin and flood	C
And the bones that bleach on the sandhill and the spears that redden with blood	C
And the pitiless might of the molten skies at noon on the sun cracked plain	D
And the walls of the northern jungles shall front them ever in vain	D
Till the land that lies like a giant asleep shall wake to the victory won	E
And the hearts of the Nation Builders shall know that the work is done	E
	-
	-
To North on the seas of summer where the pearl flotillas swim	F
To East where the axe is ringing in the heart of the ranges grim	F
On the plains where the free wind bloweth by never a tree or shrub	G
On the pine topped slopes where the settler carves a home in the tropic scrub	G
On fields where the miner sleeps unstirred by the ceaseless monotone	H
And crash of the stampers night and day at work on the milk white stone	H
'Tis war and stress with never a pause to mourn for a stout heart gone	I
Till the souls of the Nation Builders shall know that the work is done	E
	-
	-
On the deck of the lonely light ship in the sand of the new found West	J
Where strong men fall and die like sheep in the thirst of the golden quest	J
By the dry stock routes by the burnt up creeks where the cattle sink and fail	K
By the coral reefs where the b ching boats swing on 'neath the sun tanned sail	K
In the wild ravine where the searcher's gold is bought with his own heart's blood	C
In the dark of the drive where the miner's life goes out with the swirling flood	C
'Tis war and stress with never a pause to mourn for a stout heart gone	I
Till the lives of the Nation Builders have paid for the victory won	E
	-
	-
In the glare and steam of the cities the thunder and chatter of wheel	L
By the teeming wharves where the liners lie at rest on an even keel	L
In the strife of a swelling commerce at the desk in the dull routine	M
Where the soul of a man is warped and sunk to the soul of a mere machine	M
In the flash of the wire to west and north in the hum of the restless street	N
In the pulse of the toiling press that beats all night in a fever heat	N
Where the weary brain and the pen plod on 'neath the white electric light	O
Tho' we fail and fall still the fight goes on and ever our sons shall fight	O
Till the land that lies like a giant asleep shall wake to the victory won	E
And the hearts of the Nation Builders shall know that the work is done	E
	-
	-
We are but the hands of the Builder who toileth and frameth afar	P
System and order and sequence sun and planet and star	P
Faint sparks of a Mighty Genius a breath of the Over Soul	Q
Who shapes the thought of the workers wherever his worlds may roll	Q
On tho' we grope and blunder the trend of our aim is true	R
On there is death in dalliance whilst yet there is work to do	R
Till the land that lies like a giant asleep shall wake to the victory won	E
And the eyes of the Master Worker shall see that the work is done	E
