Where the strength of dry thunder splits hill rocks asunder	A
And the shouts of the desert wind break	B
By the gullies of deepness and ridges of steepness	C
Lo the cattle track twists like a snake	B
Like a sea of dead embers burnt white by Decembers	C
A plain to the left of it lies	C
And six fleeting horses dash down the creek courses	C
With the terror of thirst in their eyes	C
	-
The false strength of fever that deadly deceiver	A
Gives foot to each famishing beast	D
And over lands rotten by rain winds forgotten	E
The mirage gleams out in the east	D
Ah the waters are hidden from riders and ridden	E
In a stream where the cattle track dips	C
And Death on their faces is scoring fierce traces	C
And the drought is a fire on their lips	C
	-
It is far to the station and gaunt Desolation	E
Is a spectre that glooms in the way	F
Like a red smoke the air is like a hell light its glare is	C
And as flame are the feet of the day	F
The wastes are like metal that forges unsettle	G
When the heat of the furnace is white	H
And the cool breeze that bloweth when an English sun goeth	I
Is unknown to the wild desert night	H
	-
A cry of distress there a horseman the less there	A
The mock waters shine like a moon	J
It is 'Speed and speed faster from this hole of disaster	A
And hurrah for yon God sent lagoon '	-
Doth a devil deceive them Ah now let us leave them	K
We are burdened in life with the sad	L
Our portion is trouble our joy is a bubble	G
And the gladdest is never too glad	L
	-
From the pale tracts of peril past mountain heads sterile	G
To a sweet river shadowed with reeds	C
Where Summer steps lightly and Winter beams brightly	M
The hoof rutted cattle track leads	C
There soft is the moonlight and tender the noon light	H
There fiery things falter and fall	N
And there may be seen now the gold and the green now	O
And the wings of a peace over all	N
	-
Hush bittern and plover Go wind to thy cover	A
Away by the snow smitten Pole	P
The rotten leaf falleth the forest rain calleth	I
And what is the end of the whole	P
Some men are successful after seasons distressful	P
Now masters the drift of my tale	P
But the brink of salvation is a lair of damnation	E
For others who struggle yet fail	P
