THE saltbush steeped in drowsy stillness lies	A
The mulga seems to swoon	B
A hawk hangs poised within the burning skies	A
And it is noon	B
The river gums their leaf pores closed distil	C
No fresh and cooling breath	D
I stand upon an old hard bitten hill	C
Wide plains beneath	E
Here stood tall mountains when the world was young	F
Their peaks uplifted high	G
Here was the song of many waters sung	F
In days gone by	G
The monarch Change whose will no power withstands	H
Vast lord of might	I
At work by night and day with tireless hands	H
Planed down their height	I
With such to see and seeing ponder on	J
Such mighty ruin wrought	K
Why should we wonder at proud Babylon	J
Brought down to nought	K
Be not amazed though princes be displaced	K
And kingdoms overcast	K
Are empires more than mountains basalt based	K
That they should last	K
A sense of things unreal seen in dream	L
Is over plain and heights	M
The time worn rocks the crumbled earth the gleam	L
Of mirage lights	M
The horseman riding with a slackened rein	N
Alone a silent man	O
The weird dust sprites that whirl across the plain	N
A little span	O
The earth hued lizard on the sun baked rock	P
Stretched out in stirless sleep	Q
The far off drover and his dusty flock	P
Of travelling sheep	Q
The hidden birds that break the hush and call	R
And sink again to rest	K
The dust storm hanging like a crimson shawl	R
Within the west	K
The white quartz glittering on the umber track	S
The claypans cracked and bare	T
The poised hawk hanging like a menace black	S
In middle air	T
The wonder of the spacious plain and sky	G
The splendour of it all	R
The all that is not I so wide so high	G
And I so small	R
The sun swings on and up the western verge	U
The great shawl cloud spreads wide	K
Till sky and plain in oneness meet and merge	U
Fierce lit red dyed	K
A wind hell hot and surged with fury whips	V
The trees upon its path	W
And all is sudden turmoil and eclipse	V
And cries of wrath	W
A choking darkness draws across the sun	X
And clouds his splendour o'er	Y
And though but half his pilgrimage be done	X
'Tis noon no more	Z
