Ten miles down Reedy River	A
A pool of water lies	B
And all the year it mirrors	C
The changes in the skies	B
And in that pool's broad bosom	D
Is room for all the stars	E
Its bed of sand has drifted	F
O'er countless rocky bars	E
	-
Around the lower edges	G
There waves a bed of reeds	H
Where water rats are hidden	I
And where the wild duck breeds	H
And grassy slopes rise gently	J
To ridges long and low	K
Where groves of wattle flourish	L
And native bluebells grow	K
	-
Beneath the granite ridges	G
The eye may just discern	M
Where Rocky Creek emerges	N
From deep green banks of fern	M
And standing tall between them	O
The grassy she oaks cool	P
The hard blue tinted waters	C
Before they reach the pool	P
	-
Ten miles down Reedy River	A
One Sunday afternoon	Q
I rode with Mary Campbell	R
To that broad bright lagoon	Q
We left our horses grazing	S
Till shadows climbed the peak	T
And strolled beneath the she oaks	U
On the banks of Rocky Creek	T
	-
Then home along the river	A
That night we rode a race	V
And the moonlight lent a glory	J
To Mary Campbell's face	V
And I pleaded for our future	A
All through that moonlight ride	W
Until our weary horses	G
Drew closer side by side	W
	-
Ten miles from Ryan's Crossing	S
And five miles below the peak	T
I built a little homestead	X
On the banks of Rocky Creek	T
I cleared the land and fenced it	Y
And ploughed the rich red loam	Z
And my first crop was golden	I
When I brought my Mary home	Z
	-
Now still down Reedy River	A
The grassy she oaks sigh	A2
And the water holes still mirror	A
The pictures in the sky	A2
And over all for ever	A
Go sun and moon and stars	E
While the golden sand is drifting	S
Across the rocky bars	E
	-
But of the hut I builded	Y
There are no traces now	B2
And many rains have levelled	Y
The furrows of the plough	B2
And my bright days are olden	I
For the twisted branches wave	C2
And the wattle blossoms golden	I
On the hill by Mary's grave	C2
