And therefore�察�lingering in a land of lawn��
I�察�standing here�察�a singer of the dawn��
With gaze upturned to where wan summits lie
Against the morning flowing up the sky ´
Whose eyes in dreams of many colours see
Page�此�130
A glittering vision of the years to be ´
Do ask of thee�察�Calliope�察�one hour
Of life pre´eminent with perfect power��
That I may leave a song whose lonely rays
May shine hereafter from these songless days。
For now there breaks across the faint grey range
The rose´red dawning of a radiant change。
A soft�察�sweet voice is in the valleys deep��
Where darkness droops and sings itself to sleep。
The grave�察�mute woods�察�that yet the silence hold
Of dim�察�dead ages�察�gleam with hints of gold。
Yon eastern cape that meets the straitened wave ´
A twofold tower above the whistling cave ´
Whose strength in thunder shields the gentle lea��
And makes a white wrath of a league of sea��
Now wears the face of peace�察�and in the bay
The weak�察�spent voice of Winter dies away。

In every dell there is a whispering wing��
On every lawn a glimmer of the Spring��
By every hill are growths of tender green ´
On every slope a fair�察�new life is seen��
And lo� �beneath the morning's blossoming fires��
The shining city of a hundred spires��
In mists of gold�察�by countless havens furled��
And glad with all the flags of all the world��
These are the shores�察�where�察�in a dream of fear��
Cathay saw darkness dwelling half the year��
Note��According to that eminent authority�察�Mr。R。H。Major�察�
and others�察�the Great Southern Land is referred to in
old Chinese records as a polar continent�察�subject to the long polar nights。
These are the coasts that old fallacious tales
Chained down with ice and ringed with sleepless gales��
This is the land that�察�in the hour of awe��

From Indian peaks the rapt Venetian saw��
Note��Marco Polo mentions a large land called by the Malays Lochac。
The northern coast was supposed to be in
latitude 10��degree��S。 ��Vide Bennett�察�and others。
Here is the long grey line of strange sea wall
That checked the prow of the audacious Gaul��
What time he steered towards the southern snow��
From zone to zone�察�four hundred years ago��
Note��Mr。 R。H。Major has discovered a map of Terra Australis
dated A。D。 1542�察�and bearing the name of Le Testu��
a French pilot。 Le Testu must have visited these coasts
some years before the date of the chart。
By yonder gulf�察�whose marching waters meet
The wine´dark currents from the isles of heat��
Strong sons of Europe�察�in a far dim year��
Faced ghastly foes�察�and felt the alien spear��
There�察�in a later dawn�察�by shipless waves��
The tender grasses found forgotten graves。
Note��The sailors of the Duyfhen�察�a Dutch vessel which
entered Carpentaria�察�in A。D。1605�察�were attacked by the
natives。 In the fray�察�some of the whites were killed。
No doubt�察�these unlucky adventurers were the first Europeans
buried in Australia。 ��Vide Woods�察�and others。��

Far in the west�察�beyond those hills sublime��
Dirk Hartog anchored in the olden time��
There�察�by a wild´faced bay�察�and in a cleft��
His shining name the fair´haired Northman left��
Note��Dirk Hartog left a tin plate�察�bearing his name�察�
in Shark's Bay�察�Western Australia。 It was last seen in
A。D。1803。
And�察�on those broad imperial waters�察�far
Beneath the lordly occidental star��
Sailed Tasman down a great and glowing space
Whose softer lights were like his lady's face。
In dreams of her he roved from zone to zone��
And gave her lovely name to coasts unknown��
And saw�察�in streaming sunset everywhere��
The curious beauty of her golden hair。
Note��Abel Tasman's love for Maria Van Dieman is well known。
Tasmania�察�and many of the islands and points on
the N。W。 coasts of Australia were named after her。
By flaming tracts of tropic afternoon��
Where in low heavens hangs a fourfold moon。
Here�察�on the tides of a resplendent year��

By capes of jasper�察�came the buccaneer。
Note��Dampier。
Then�察�then�察�the wild men�察�flying from the beach��
First heard the clear�察�bold sounds of English speech��
And then first fell across a Southern plain
The broad�察�strong shadows of a Saxon train。
Near yonder wall of stately cliff�察�that braves
The arrogance of congregated waves��
The daring son of grey old Yorkshire stood
And dreamed in a majestic solitude��
What time a gentle April shed its showers��
Aflame with sunset�察�on the Bay of Flowers。
Note��Botany Bay
The noble seaman who withheld the hand��
And spared the Hector of his native land ´
The single savage�察�yelling on the beach
The dark�察�strange curses of barbaric speech。
Exalted sailor� �whose benignant phrase
Shines full of beauty in these latter days��
Page�此�135
Who met the naked tribes of fiery skies
With great�察�divine compassion in his eyes��
Who died�察�like Him of hoary Nazareth��
That death august ´ the radiant martyr's death��
Who in the last hour showed the Christian face
Whose crumbling beauty shamed the alien race。
In peace he sleeps where deep eternal calms
Lie round the land of heavy´fruited palms。
Lo� �in that dell�察�behind a singing bar��
Where deep�察�pure pools of glittering waters are��
Beyond a mossy�察�yellow�察�gleaming glade��
The last of Forby Sutherland was laid ´
The blue´eyed Saxon from the hills of snow
Who fell asleep a hundred years ago。
In flowerful shades�察�where gold and green are rife��
Still rests the shell of his forgotten life。
Far�察�far away�察�beneath some northern sky
The fathers of his humble household lie��
But by his lonely grave are sapphire streams��
And gracious woodlands�察�where the fire´fly gleams��
Page�此�136
And ever comes across a silver lea
The hymn sublime of the eternal sea。
On that bold hill�察�against a broad blue stream��
Stood Arthur Phillip in a day of dream��
What time the mists of morning westward rolled��
And heaven flowered on a bay of gold��
Here�察�in the hour that shines and sounds afar��
Flamed first old England's banner like a star��
Here�察�in a time august with prayer and praise��
Was born the nation of these splendid days��
And here this land's majestic yesterday
Of immemorial silence died away。
Where are the woods that�察�ninety summers back��
Stood hoar with ages by the water´track��
Where are the valleys of the flashing wing��
Page�此�137
The dim green margins and the glimmering spring��
Where now the warrior of the forest race��
His glaring war´paint and his fearless face��
The banks of April and the groves of bird��
The glades of silence and the pools unstirred��
The gleaming savage and the whistling spear��
Passed with the passing of a wild old year��
A single torrent singing by the wave��
A shadowy relic in a mountain cave��
A ghost of fire in immemorial hills��
The whittled tree by folded wayside rills��
The call of bird that hides in hollows far��
Where feet of thunder�察�wings of winter are ´
Of all that Past�察�these wrecks of wind and rain��
These touching memories ´ these alone remain��
What sun is this that beams and broadens west��
What wonder this�察�in deathless glory dressed��
Page�此�138
What strange�察�sweet harp of highest god took flame
And gave this Troy its life�察�its light�察�its name��
What awful lyre of marvellous power and range
Upraised this Ilion ´ wrought this dazzling change��
No shining singer of Hellenic dreams
Set yonder splendour by the morning streams��
No god who glimmers in a doubtful sphere
Shed glory there ´ created beauty here��
This is the city that our fathers framed ´
These are the crescents by the elders named��
The human hands of strong�察�heroic men
Broke down the mountain�察�filled the gaping glen��
Ran streets through swamp�察�built banks against the foam��
And bent the arch and raised the lordly dome��
Here are the towers that the founders made��
Here are the temples where these Romans prayed��
Here stand the courts in which their leaders met��
Here are their homes�察�and here their altars yet��
Here sleep the grand old men whose lives sublime
Page�此�139
Of thought and action shine and sound through time��
Who worked in darkness ´ onward fought their ways
To bring about these large majestic days ´
Who left their sons the hearts and high desires
Which built this city of the hundred spires��
A stately Morning rises on the wing��
The hills take colour�察�and the valleys sing。
A strong September flames beyond the lea ´
A silver vision on a silver sea。
A new Age�察 �`cast in a diviner mould''��
Comes crowned with lustre�察�zoned and shod with gold��
What dream is this on lawny spaces set��
What miracle of dome and minaret��
What great mute majesty is this that takes
The first of morning ere the song´bird wakes��
Lo�察�this was built to honour gathering lands
By Celtic�察�Saxon�察�Australasian hands��
Page�此�140
These are the halls where all the flags unfurled
Break into speech that welcomes all the world。
And lo�察�our friends are here from every zone ´
From isles we dream of and from tracts unknown��
Here are the fathers from the stately space
Where Ireland is and England's sacred face��
Here are the Norsemen from their strong sea´wall��
The grave�察�grand Teuton and the brilliant Gaul��
From green�察�sweet groves the dark´e
