James Lister Cuthbertson Love Poems
- 1. Solitude
This is the maiden Solitude, too fair
For mortal eyes to gaze on--she who dwells
In the lone valley where the water wells
Clear from the marble, where the mountain air
... - 2. Wattle And Myrtle
Gold of the tangled wilderness of wattle,
Break in the lone green hollows of the hills,
Flame on the iron headlands of the ocean,
Gleam on the margin of the hurrying rills.
... - 3. The Bush
GIVE us from dawn to dark
Blue of Australian skies,
Let there be none to mark
Whither our pathway lies.
... - 4. To A Billy
OLD BILLYâ??battered, brown and black
With many days of camping,
Companion of the bulging sack,
And friend in all our tramping:
... - 5. At Cape Schanck
Down to the lighthouse pillar
The rolling woodland comes,
Gay with the gold of she-oaks
And the green of the stunted gums,
... - 6. Ode To Apollo
"Tandem venias precamur
Nube candentes humeros amictus
Augur Apollo."
...
