Where Hornby like a mighty fallen star	A
Burns through the darkness with a splendid ring	B
Of tenfold light and where the awful face	C
Of Sydney s northern headland stares all night	D
O er dark determined waters from the east	E
From year to year a wild Titanic voice	F
Of fierce aggressive sea shoots up and makes	G
When storm sails high through drifts of driving sleet	H
And in the days when limpid waters glass	I
December s sunny hair and forest face	C
A roaring down by immemorial caves	J
A thunder in the everlasting hills	K
But calm and lucid as an English lake	L
Beloved by beams and wooed by wind and wing	B
Shut in from tempest trampled wastes of wave	M
And sheltered from white wraths of surge by walls	N
Grand ramparts founded by the hand of God	O
The lordly Harbour gleams Yea like a shield	P
Of marvellous gold dropped in his fiery flight	D
By some lost angel in the elder days	Q
When Satan faced and fought Omnipotence	R
It shines amongst fair flowering hills and flows	S
By dells of glimmering greenness manifold	T
And all day long when soft eyed Spring comes round	U
With gracious gifts of bird and leaf and grass	I
And through the noon when sumptuous Summer sleeps	V
By yellowing runnels under beetling cliffs	W
This royal water blossoms far and wide	X
With ships from all the corners of the world	Y
	-
And while sweet Autumn with her gipsy face	C
Stands in the gardens splashed from heel to thigh	Z
With spinning vine blood yea and when the mild	A2
Wan face of our Australian Winter looks	B2
Across the congregated southern fens	B2
Then low melodious shell like songs are heard	C2
Beneath proud hulls and pompous clouds of sail	D2
By yellow beaches under lisping leaves	B2
And hidden nooks to Youth and Beauty dear	E2
And where the ear may catch the counter voice	B2
Of Ocean travelling over far blue tracts	B2
	-
Moreover when the moon is gazing down	F2
Upon her lovely reflex in the wave	M
What time she sitting in the zenith makes	B2
A silver silence over stirless woods	B2
Then where its echoes start at sudden bells	B2
And where its waters gleam with flying lights	B2
The haven lies in all its beauty clad	G2
More lovely even than the golden lakes	B2
The poet saw while dreaming splendid dreams	B2
Which showed his soul the far Hesperides	B2
