James Lister Cuthbertson Sweet Poems
- 1. 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.
... - 2. The Bush
GIVE us from dawn to dark
Blue of Australian skies,
Let there be none to mark
Whither our pathway lies.
... - 3. 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,
... - 4. Ode To Apollo
"Tandem venias precamur
Nube candentes humeros amictus
Augur Apollo."
