To thee the noises of this violent time
Are far�察�faint whispers�察�and�察�from age to age��
Within the world and yet apart from it��
Thou standest� �Round thy lordly capes the sea
Rolls on with a superb indifference
For ever�察�in thy deep�察�green�察�gracious glens
Page�此�7
The silver fountains sing for ever。 Far
Above dim ghosts of waters in the caves��
The royal robe of morning on thy head
Abides for ever。 Evermore the wind
Is thy august companion�察�and thy peers
Are cloud�察�and thunder�察�and the face sublime
Of blue mid´heaven� �On thy awful brow
Is Deity�察�and in that voice of thine
There is the great imperial utterance
Of God for ever�察�and thy feet are set
Where evermore�察�through all the days and years��
There rolls the grand hymn of the deathless wave。

MARY RIVERS
Path beside the silver waters�察�flashing in October's sun ´
Walk�察�by green and golden margins where the sister streamlets run ´
Twenty shining springs have vanished�察�full of flower�察�and leaf�察�and bird��
Since the step of Mary Rivers in your lawny dell was heard��
Twenty white´haired Junes have left us ´ grey with frost and bleak with gale ´
Since the hand of her we loved so plucked the blossoms in your dale。
Twenty summers�察�twenty autumns�察�from the grand old hills have passed��
With their robes of royal colour�察�since we saw the darling last。
Page�此�9
Morning comes ´ the blessed morning� �and the slow song of the sea��
Like a psalm from radiant altars�察�floats across a rose´red lea��
Then the fair�察�strong noonday blossoms�察�and the reaper seeks the cool
Valley of the moss and myrtle�察�and the glimmering water´pool。
Noonday flames and evening follows�察�and the lordly mountains rest
Heads arrayed with tenfold splendour on the rich heart of the West。
Evening walks with moon and music where the higher life has been��
But the face of Mary Rivers there will nevermore be seen。
Ah� �when autumn dells are dewy�察�and the wave is very still��
And that grey ghost called the Twilight passes from the distant hill ´
Page�此�10
Even in the hallowed nightfall�察�when the fathers sit and dream��
And the splendid rose of heaven sees a sister in the stream ´
Often do I watch the waters gleaming in a starry bay��
Thinking of a bygone beauty�察�and a season far away��
Musing on the grace that left us in a time of singing rain��
On the lady who will never walk amongst these heaths again。
Four there were�察�but two were taken�察�and this darling we deplore��
She was sweetest of the circle ´ she was dearest of the four��
In the daytime and the dewtime comes the phantom of her face��
None will ever sit where she did ´ none will ever fill her place。
Page�此�11
With the passing of our Mary�察�like a sunset out of sight��
Passed away our pure first passion ´ all its life and all its light��
All that made the world a dreamland ´ all the glory and the glow
Of the fine�察�fresh�察�morning feeling vanished twenty years ago。
Girl�察�whose strange�察�unearthly beauty haunts us ever in our sleep��
Many griefs have worn our hearts out ´ we are now too tired to weep��
Time has tried us�察�years have changed us�察�but the sweetness shed by you
Falls upon our spirits daily�察�like divine�察�immortal dew。
Shining are our thoughts about you ´ of the blossoms past recall��
You are still the rose of lustre ´ still the fairest of them all��
Page�此�12
In the sleep that brings the garland gathered from the bygone hours��
You are still our Mary Rivers ´ still the queen of all the flowers。
Let me ask�察�where none can hear me ´ When you passed into the shine��
And you heard a great love calling�察�did you know that it was mine��
In your life of light and music�察�tell me did you ever see��
Shining in a holy silence�察�what was as a flame in me��
Ah�察�my darling� �no one saw it。 Purer than untrodden dew
Was that first unhappy passion buried in the grave with you。
Bird and leaf will keep the secret ´ wind and wood will never tell
Men the thing that I have whispered。 Mary Rivers�察�fare you well��

KINGSBOROUGH
A waving of hats and of hands��
The voices of thousands in one��
A shout from the ring and the stands��
And a glitter of heads in the sun��
``They are off ´ they are off��'' is the roar��
As the cracks settle down to the race��
With the ``yellow and black'' to the fore��
And the Panic blood forcing the pace。
At the back of the course�察�and away
Where the running´ground home again wheels��
Grubb travels in front on the bay��
With a feather´weight hard at his heels。
Page�此�14
But Yeomans�察�you see�察�is about��
And the wily New Zealander waits��
Though the high´blooded flyer is out��
Whose rider and colours are Tait's。
Look� �Ashworth comes on with a run
To the head of the Levity colt��
And the fleet ´ the magnificent son
Of Panic is shooting his bolt。
Hurrah for the Weatherbit strain��
A Fireworks is first in the straight��
And ``A Kelpie will win it again��''
Is the roar from the ring to the gate。
The leader must have it ´ but no��
For see�察�full of running�察�behind
A beautiful�察�wonderful foe
With the speed of the thunder and wind��
Page�此�15
A flashing of whips�察�and a cry��
And Ashworth sits down on his horse��
With Kingsborough's head at his thigh
And the ``field'' scattered over the course��
In a clamour of calls and acclaim
The pair race away from the ``ruck��''
The horse to the last of it game ´
A marvel of muscle and pluck��
But the foot of the Sappho is there��
And Kingston's invincible strength��
And the numbers go up in the air ´
The colt is the first by a length��
The first�察�and the favourite too��
The terror that came from his stall��
With the spirit of fire and of dew��
To show the road home to them all��
Page�此�16
From the back of the field to the straight
He has come�察�as is ever his wont��
And carried his welter´like weight��
Like a tradesman�察�right through to the front。
Nor wonder at cheering a wit��
For this is the popular horse��
That never was beaten when ``fit''
By any four hoofs on the course��
To starter for Leger or Cup��
Has he ever shown feather of fear
When saddle and rider were up
And the case to be argued was clear��
No� �rather the questionless pluck
Of the blood unaccustomed to yield��
Preferred to spread´eagle the ruck��
And make a long tail of the ``field''。
Page�此�17
Bear witness�察�ye lovers of sport��
To races of which he can boast��
When flyer by flyer was caught��
And beaten by lengths on the post��
Lo� �this is the beautiful bay ´
Of many�察�the marvellous one
Who showed us last season the way
That a Leger should always be won。
There was something to look at and learn��
Ye shrewd irreproachable ``touts''��
When the Panic colt tired at the turn��
And the thing was all over ´ but shouts��
Aye�察�that was the ``spin''�察�when the twain
Came locked by the bend of the course��
The Zealander pulling his rein��
And the veteran hard on his horse��
Page�此�18
When Ashworth was ``riding'' 'twas late
For his friends to applaud on the stands��
And the Sappho colt entered the straight
With the race of the year in his hands。
Just look at his withers�察�his thighs��
And the way that he carries his head��
Has Richmond more wonderful eyes��
Or Melbourne that spring in his tread��
The grand�察�the intelligent glance
From a spirit that fathoms and feels��
Makes the heart of a horse´lover dance
Till the warm´blooded life in him reels。
What care have I ever to know
His owner by sight or by name��
The horse that I glory in so
Is still the magnificent same。
Page�此�19
I own I am proud of the pluck
Of the sportsman that never was bought��
But the nag that spread´eagled the ruck
Is bound to be first in my thought。
For who that has masculine flame��
Or who that is thorough at all��
Can help feeling joy in the fame
Of this king of the kings of the stall��
What odds if assumption has sealed
His soulless hereafter abode��
So long as he shows to his ``field''
The gleam of his hoofs�察�and the road��

BEYOND KERGUELEN
Down in the South�察�by the waste without sail on it��
Far from the zone of the blossom and tree��
Lieth�察�with winter and whirlwind and wail on it��
Ghost of a land by the ghost of a sea。
Weird is the mist from the summit to base of it��
Sun of its heaven is wizened and grey��
Phantom of life is the light on the face of it ´
Never is night on it�察�never is day��
Here is the shore without flower or bird on it��
Here is no litany sweet of the springs ´
Only the haughty�察�harsh thunder is heard on it��
Only the storm�察�with the roar in its wings��
Page�此�21
Shadow of moon is the moon in the sky of it ´
Wan as the face of a wizard�察�and far��
Never there shines from the firmament high of it
Grace of the planet or glory of star。
All the year round�察�in the place of white days on it ´
All the year round where there never is night ´
Lies a great sinister�察�bitter�察�blind haze on it��
Growth that is neither of darkness nor light��
Wild is the cry of the sea in the caves by it ´
Sea that is smitten by spears o
