     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
