WHERE was no shadow on the land	A
No cloud in heaven's dome	B
When bearded man and beardless boy	C
Our hearts alight with morning joy	C
Across the hills of Duckmaloi	D
We drove the cattle home	B
The sunrays danced a merry jig	E
On grass and bracken brown	F
And right and left and left and right	G
The magpies piped in sheer delight	G
As over creekside flat and height	G
We drove the cattle down	F
With fiery eyes and tossing horns	H
And swaying sides and hips	I
They moved red hides and hides of black	J
And ever as they left the track	J
We wheeled and held and drove them back	J
With shouts and cracking whips	I
There is no joy in all the world	K
Of such a bloom and blush	L
As that the charging rider feels	M
When at some frenzied scrubber's heels	M
His stockwhip making curves and wheels	M
He thunders through the bush	N
Knees gripping hard he dashes on	O
The swift wind in his hair	P
Whate'er befall whate'er betide	Q
All thought of peril thrust aside	Q
He feels the glory and the pride	Q
Of those who finely dare	P
The moving mob was mountain reared	R
And mountain bred and born	S
Their hides of brand and marking clear	T
As shy as deer as swift as deer	T
Who over heath and highland hear	U
The huntsman's early horn	S
And yet with dog and spur and whip	V
Our horses flaked with foam	B
The magpies singing all the while	D
Through hour and hour and mile and mile	D
For all their speed of hoof and guile	D
We brought the cattle home	B
A score of years has passed away	W
Slow filing on since then	X
And Time who knows no sparing ruth	Y
And Wisdom armed with bitter truth	Y
Have tamed the heart of reckless youth	Y
And greyed the beards of men	X
Yet evermore when cattle low	D
Across the bracken brown	F
I see again that man and boy	C
As when alight with morning joy	C
Across the hills of Duckmaloi	D
They drove the cattle down	F
