ULMARRA


             ALONE ´ alone��
     With a heart like a stone��
     She maketh her moan
     At the feet of the trees��
     With her face on her knees��
     And her hair streaming over��
     Wildly�察�and wildly�察�and wildly��
     For she misses the tracks of her lover��
     Do you hear her�察�Ulmarra��
     Oh�察�where are the tracks of her lover��


             Go by ´ go by��
     They have told her a lie��
     Who said he was nigh��
     In the white´cedar glen ´
     In the camps of his men��
     And she sitteth there weeping ´
     Weeping�察�and weeping�察�and weeping��
     For the face of a warrior sleeping��
     Do you hear her�察�Ulmarra��
     Oh� �where is her warrior sleeping��


             A dream� �a dream��
     That they saw a bright gleam
     Through the dusk boughs stream��
     Where wild bees dwell��
     And a tomahawk fell��
     In moons which have faded��
     Faded�察�and faded�察�and faded��
     From woods where a chieftain lies shaded��
     Do you hear her�察�Ulmarra��
     Oh� �where doth her chieftain lie shaded��


             Bewail� �bewail��
     Who whispered a tale��
     That they heard on the gale��
     Through the dark and the cold��
     The voice of the bold��

     Page�此�41 
     And a boomerang flying��
     Flying�察�and flying�察�and flying��
     Ah� �her heart it is wasted with crying ´
     Do you hear her�察�Ulmarra��
     Oh� �her heart it is wasted with crying��

THE MAID OF GERRINGONG


     ROLLING through the gloomy gorges�察�comes the roaring southern blast��
     With a sound of torrents flying�察�like a routed army�察�past��
     And�察�beneath the shaggy forelands�察�strange fantastic forms of surf
     Fly�察�like wild hounds�察�at the darkness�察�crouching over sea and earth��
     Swooping round the sunken caverns�察�with an aggravated roar��
     Falling where the waters tumble foaming on a screaming shore��
     In a night like this we parted。 Eyes were wet though speech was low��
     And our thoughts were all in mourning for the dear�察�dead Long Ago��
     In a night like this we parted。 Hearts were sad though they were young��
     And you left me very lonely�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong。


     Said my darling�察�looking at me�察�through the radiance of her tears��
     ``Many changes�察�O my loved One�察�we will meet in after years��
     Changes like to sudden sunbursts flashing down a rainy steep ´
     Changes like to swift´winged shadows falling on a moony deep��
     And they are so cheerless sometimes�察�leaving�察�when they pass us by��
     Deepening dolours on the sweet�察�sad face of our Humanity。
     But you'll hope�察�and fail and faint not�察�with that heart so warm and true��
     Watching for the coming Morning�察�that will flood the World for you��
     Listening through a thirsty silence�察�till the low winds bear along
     Eager footfalls ´ pleasant voices��'' said the Maid of Gerringong。

     Said my darling�察�when the wind came sobbing wildly round the eaves��
     ``Oh�察�the Purpose scattered from me�察�like the withered autumn leaves��
     Oh�察�the wreck of Love's ambition� �Oh�察�the fond and full belief
     That I yet should hear them hail you in your land a God´made chief��
     In the loud day they may slumber�察�but my thoughts will not be still
     When the weary world is sleeping�察�and the moon is on the hill��
     Then your form will bend above me�察�then your voice will rise and fall��
     Though I turn and hide in darkness�察�with my face against the wall��
     And my Soul must rise and listen while those homeless memories throng
     Moaning in the night for shelter��'' said the Maid of Gerringong。


     Ay�察�she passed away and left me� �Rising through the dusk of tears��
     Came a vision of that parting every day for many years��
     Every day�察�though she had told me not to court the strange sweet pain��
     Something whispered ´ something led me to our olden haunts again��
     And I used to wander nightly�察�by the surges and the ships��
     Harping on those last fond accents that had trembled from her lips��
     Till a vessel crossed the waters�察�and I heard a stranger say��
     ``One you loved has died in silence with her dear face turned away。''
     Oh� �the eyes that flash upon me�察�and the voice that comes along ´
     Oh� �my light�察�my life�察�my darling dark´haired Maid of Gerringong。

                               。 
                                      。 
                                             。
                                                    。
                                                           。



     Some one saith�察 �`Oh�察�you that mock at Passion with a worldly whine��
     Would you change the face of Nature ´ would you limit God's design��

     Page�此�43 
     Hide for shame from well´raised clamour�察�moderate fools who would be wise��
     Hide for shame ´ the World will hoot you� �Love is Love�察�and never dies''
     And another asketh�察�doubting that my brother speaks the truth��
     ``Can we love in age as fondly as we did in days of youth��
     Will dead faces always haunt us�察�in the time of faltering breath��
     Shall we yearn�察�and we so feeble��'' Ay�察�for Love is Love in Death。
     Oh� �the Faith with sure foundation�  � let the Ages roll along��
     You are mine�察�and mine for ever�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong。


     Last night�察�dear�察�I dreamt about you�察�and I thought that far from men
     We were walking�察�both together�察�in a fragrant seaside glen��
     Down where we could hear the surges wailing round the castled cliffs��
     Down where we could see the sunset reddening on the distant skiffs��
     There a fall of mountain waters tumbled through the knotted bowers
     Bright with rainbow colours reeling on the purple forest flowers。
     And we rested on the benches of a cavern old and hoar��
     And I whispered�察 �`this is surely her I loved in days of yore��
     False he was who brought sad tidings� �Why were you away so long��
     When you knew who waited for you�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong��


     ``Did the strangers come around you�察�in the far´off foreign land��
     Did they lead you out of sorrow�察�with kind face and loving hand��
     Had they pleasant ways to court you ´ had they silver words to bind��
     Had they souls more fond and loyal than the soul you left behind��
     Do not think I blame you�察�dear one� �Ah� �my heart is gushing o'er
     With the sudden joy and wonder�察�thus to see your face once more。

     Page�此�44 
     Happy is the chance which joins us after long�察�long years of pain��
     And�察�oh�察�blessed was whatever sent you back to me again��
     Now our pleasure will be real ´ now our hopes again are young��
     Now we'll climb Life's brightest summits�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong。


     ``In the sound of many footfalls�察�did you falter with regret
     For a step which used to gladden in the time so vivid yet��
     When they left you in the night´hours�察�did you lie awake like me��
     With the thoughts of what we had been ´ what we never more could be��
     Ah� �you look but do not answer while I halt and question here��
     Wondering why I am so happy�察�doubting that you are so near。
     Sure these eyes with love are blinded�察�for your form is waxing faint��
     And a dreamy splendour crowns it�察�like the halo round a saint��
     When I talk of what we will be�察�and new aspirations throng��
     Why are you so sadly silent�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong��''


     But she faded into sunset�察�and the sunset passed from sight��
     And I followed madly after�察�through the misty�察�moony night��
     Crying�察 �`do not leave me lonely� �Life has been so cold and drear��
     You are all that God has left me�察�and I want you to be near��
     Do not leave me in the darkness� �I have walked a weary way��
     Listening for your truant footsteps ´ turn and stay�察�my darling�察�stay��''
     But she came not though I waited�察�watching through a splendid haze��
     Where the lovely Phantom halted ere she vanished from my gaze。
     Then I thought that rain was falling�察�for there rose a stormy song��
     And I woke in gloom and tempest�察�dark´haired Maid of Gerringong��

WATCHING


     LIKE a beautiful face looking ever at me
     A pure bright moon cometh over the sea��
     And I stand on the crags�察�and hear the falls
     Go tumbling down�察�through the black river´walls��
     And the heart of the gorge is rent with the cry
     Of the pent´up winds in their agony��
     You are far from me�察�dear�察�where I watch and wait��
     Like a weary bird for a long´lost mate��
     And my life is as dull as the sluggish stream
     Feeling its way through a world of dream��
     For here is a waste of darkness and fear��
     And I call and I call�察�but no one will hear��
     O darling of mine�察�do you ever yearn
     For a something lost�察�which will never return��


     O darling of mine�察�on the grave of dead Hours��
     Do you feel�察�like me�察�for a handful of flowers��
     Through the glens of the Past�察�do you wander along��
     Like a restless ghost that hath done a wrong��
     And�察�lying alone�察�do you look from the drouth
     Of a thirsty Life with a pleading mouth��
     When the rain's on the roof�察�and the gales are abroad��
     Do you wash with your tears the feet of your God��
     Oh� �I know you do�察�and he sitteth alone��
     Your wounded Love�察�while you mourn and moan ´
     Oh� �I know you do�察�and he never will leap
     From his silence with smiles�察�while you weep ´ and weep��


     Your coolness shake down�察�ye gathered green leaves��
     For my spirit is faint with the love that it grieves��
     Is there aught on the summit�察�O yearner through Night��
     Aught on the summit which looks like the light��
     When my soul is a´wearied and lone in the land��
     Groping around will it touch a kind hand��
     There are chasms between us as black as a pall��
     But bring us together�察�O God over all��
     And let me cast from me these fetters of Fear��
     When I hear the glad singing of Faith so near��
     For I know by the cheeks�察�which are pallid and wet��
     And a listening life we shall mi
