Light lie the shipmasts, fairy-like to see,
Athwart the royal cityâ??s splendour thrown; ...
By all the deeds to Thy dear glory done,
By all the life blood spilt to serve Thy need,
By all the fettered lives Thy touch hath freed,
By all Thy dream in us anew begun; ...
Gallant is Spring along thy laughing hills,
With wattleâ??s loveliest scent and gleam of gold,
When the good rain hath quickened all thy mould,
And the hot musk thine air with incense fills. ...
