January	A
	-
The first fair month In singing Summer s sphere	B
She glows the eldest daughter of the year	B
All light all warmth all passion breaths of myrrh	C
And subtle hints of rose lands come with her	C
She is the warm live month of lustre she	A
Makes glad the land and lulls the strong sad sea	A
The highest hope comes with her In her face	D
Of pure clear colour lives exalted grace	D
Her speech is beauty and her radiant eyes	E
Are eloquent with splendid prophecies	F
	-

February	A
	-
The bright haired blue eyed last of Summer Lo	G
Her clear song lives in all the winds that blow	G
The upland torrent and the lowland rill	H
The stream of valley and the spring of hill	H
The pools that slumber and the brooks that run	I
Where dense the leaves are green the light of sun	I
Take all her grace of voice and colour She	A
With rich warm vine blood splashed from heel to knee	A
Comes radiant through the yellow woodlands Far	J
And near her sweet gifts shine like star by star	J
She is the true Demeter Life of root	K
Glows under her in gardens flushed with fruit	K
She fills the fields with strength and passion makes	L
A fire of lustre on the lawn ringed lakes	L
Her beauty awes the great wild sea the height	M
Of grey magnificence takes strange delight	M
And softens at her presence at the dear	B
Sweet face whose memory beams through all the year	B

	-
March	N
	-
Clear upland voices full of wind and stream	O
Greet March the sister of the flying beam	O
And speedy shadow She with rainbow crowned	P
Lives in a sphere of songs of mazy sound	P
The hymn of waters and the gale s high tone	Q
With anthems from the thunder s mountain throne	Q
Are with her ever This behold is she	A
Who draws its great cry from the strong sad sea	A
She is the month of majesty Her force	R
Is power that moves along a stately course	R
Within the lines of order like no wild	S
And lawless strength of winter s fiercest child	S
About her are the wind whipped torrents far	J
Above her gleams and flies the stormy star	J
And round her through the highlands and their rocks	T
Rings loud the grand speech from the equinox	T
	-
April	U
	-
The darling of Australia s Autumn now	V
Down dewy dells the strong swift torrents flow	G
This is the month of singing waters here	W
A tender radiance fills the Southern year	B
No bitter winter sets on herb and root	K
Within these gracious glades a frosty foot	X
The spears of sleet the arrows of the hail	Y
Are here unknown But down the dark green dale	Y
Of moss and myrtle and the herby streams	Z
This April wanders in a home of dreams	Z
Her flower soft name makes language falter All	A2
Her paths are soft and cool and runnels fall	A2
In music round her and the woodlands sing	B2
For evermore with voice of wind and wing	B2
Because this is the month of beauty this	C2
The crowning grace of all the grace that is	D2
	-
May	E2
	-
Now sings a cool bland wind where falls and flows	F2
The runnel by the grave of last year s rose	F2
Now underneath the strong perennial leaves	G2
The first slow voice of wintering torrent grieves	G2
Now in a light like English August s day	E2
Is seen the fair sweet chastened face of May	E2
She is the daughter of the year who stands	H2
With Autumn s last rich offerings in her hands	H2
Behind her gleams the ghost of April s noon	I2
Before her is the far faint dawn of June	I2
She lingers where the dells and dewy leas	F
Catch stormy sayings from the great bold seas	F
Her nightly raiment is the misty fold	J2
That zones her round with moonlight coloured gold	J2
And in the day she sheds from shining wings	K2
A tender heat that keeps the life in things	K2

June	I2
	-
Not like that month when in imperial space	D
The high strong sun stares at the white world s face	D
Not like that haughty daughter of the year	B
Who moves a splendour in a splendid sphere	B
But rather like a nymph of afternoon	I2
With cool soft sunshine comes Australian June	I2
She is the calm sweet lady from whose lips	L2
No breath of living passion ever slips	L2
The wind that on her virgin forehead blows	F2
Was born too late to speak of last year s rose	F2
She never saw a blossom but her eyes	E
Of tender beauty see blue gracious skies	E
She loves the mosses and her feet have been	M2
In woodlands where the leaves are always green	N2
Her days pass on with sea songs and her nights	O2
Shine full of stars on lands of frosty lights	O2

July	P2
	-
High travelling winds filled with the strong storm s soul	Q2
Are here with dark strange sayings from the Pole	Q2
Now is the time when every great cave rings	K2
With sharp clear echoes caught from mountain springs	K2
This is the season when all torrents run	I
Beneath no bright glad beauty of the sun	I
Here where the trace of last year s green is lost	R2
Are haughty gales and lordships of the frost	R2
Far down by fields forlorn and forelands bleak	S2
Are wings that fly not birds that never speak	S2
But in the deep hearts of the glens unseen	N2
Stand grave mute forests of eternal green	N2
And here the lady born in wind and rain	T2
Comes oft to moan and clap her palms with pain	T2
This is our wild faced July in whose breast	U2
Is never faultless light or perfect rest	U2

August	V2
	-
Across the range by every scarred black fell	W2
Strong Winter blows his horn of wild farewell	W2
And in the glens where yet there moves no wing	B2
A slow sweet voice is singing of the Spring	B2
Yea where the bright quick woodland torrents run	I
A music trembles under rain and sun	I
The lips that breathe it are the lips of her	C
At whose dear touch the wan world s pulses stir	C
The nymph who sets the bow of promise high	P2
And fills with warm life light the bleak grey sky	P2
She is the fair haired August Ere she leaves	G2
She brings the woodbine blossom round the eaves	G2
And where the bitter barbs of frost have been	M2
She makes a beauty with her gold and green	N2
And while a sea song floats from bay and beach	X2
She sheds a mist of blossoms on the peach	X2

October	C
	-
Where fountains sing and many waters meet	Y2
October comes with blossom trammelled feet	Y2
She sheds green glory by the wayside rills	G2
And clothes with grace the haughty featured hills	G2
This is the queen of all the year She brings	G2
The pure chief beauty of our southern springs	G2
Fair lady of the yellow hair Her breath	Z2
Starts flowers to life and shames the storm to death	Z2
Through tender nights and days of generous sun	I
By prospering woods her clear strong torrents run	I
In far deep forests where all life is mute	K
Of leaf and bough she makes a touching lute	K
Her life is lovely Stream and wind and bird	A3
Have seen her face her marvellous voice have heard	A3
And in strange tracts of wildwood all day long	B3
They tell the story in surpassing song	B3

November	C
	-
Now beats the first warm pulse of Summer now	V
There shines great glory on the mountain s brow	V
The face of heaven in the western sky	P2
When falls the sun is filled with Deity	A
And while the first light floods the lake and lea	A
The morning makes a marvel of the sea	A
The strong leaves sing and in the deep green zones	G2
Of rock bound glens the streams have many tones	G2
And where the evening coloured waters pass	G2
Now glides November down fair falls of grass	G2
She is the wonder with the golden wings	G2
Who lays one hand in Summer s one in Spring s	G2
About her hair a sunset radiance glows	G2
Her mouth is sister of the dewy rose	G2
And all the beauty of the pure blue skies	G2
Has lent its lustre to her soft bright eyes	G2

December	C
	-
The month whose face is holiness She brings	G2
With her the glory of majestic things	G2
What words of light what high resplendent phrase	G2
Have I for all the lustre of her days	G2
She comes and carries in her shining sphere	B
August traditions of the world s great year	B
The noble tale which lifts the human race	G2
Has made a morning of her sacred face	G2
Now in the emerald home of flower and wing	B2
Clear summer streams their sweet hosannas sing	B2
The winds are full of anthems and a l	W2
