     Then I swooned away in horror。 Oh� �that shriek which rent the air��
     Like the voice of some fell demon harrowed by a mad despair。

HARPS WE LOVE


     THE harp we love hath a royal burst��
         Its strings are mighty forest trees��
     And branches�察�swaying to and fro��
         Are fingers sounding symphonies。


     The harp we love hath a solemn sound��
         And rocks amongst the shallow seas
     Are strings from which the rolling waves
         Draw forth their stirring harmonies。


     The harp we love hath a low sweet voice��
         Its strings are in the bosom deep��
     And Love will press those hidden chords
         When all the baser passions sleep。

WAITING AND WISHING


     I LOITER by this surging sea��
     Here�察�by this surging�察�sooming sea��
     Here�察�by this wailing�察�wild´faced sea��
     Dreaming through the dreamy night��
     Yearning for a strange delight��
     Will it ever�察�ever�察�ever fly to me��
             By this surging sea��
             By this surging�察�sooming sea��
             By this wailing�察�wild´faced sea��

     I know some gentle spirit lives��
     Some loving�察�lonely spirit lives��
     Some melancholy spirit lives��
     Walking o'er the earth for me��
     Searching round the world for me��
     Will she ever�察�ever�察�ever hither come��
             Where the waters roam��
             Where the sobbing waters roam��
             Where the raving waters roam��


     All worn and wasted by the storms��
     All gapped and fractured by the storms��
     All split and splintered by the storms��
     Overhead the caverns groan��
     Gloomy�察�ghastly caverns groan�  �
     Will she ever�察�ever�察�ever fill this heart��
             Peace�察�O longing heart��
             Peace�察�O longing�察�beating heart��
             Peace�察�O beating�察�weary heart��

THE WILD KANGAROO


     THE rain´clouds have gone to the deep ´
         The East like a furnace doth glow��
     And the day´spring is flooding the steep��
         And sheening the landscape below。
     Oh�察�ye who are gifted with souls
         That delight in the music of birds��
     Come forth where the scattered mist rolls��
         And listen to eloquent words��
     Oh�察�ye who are fond of the sport��
         And would travel yon wilderness through��
     Gather ´ each to his place ´ for a life´stirring chase��
         In the wake of the wild Kangaroo��
                 Gather ´ each to his place ´
                 For a life´stirring chase
         In the wake of the wild Kangaroo��


     Beyond the wide rents of the fog��
         The trees are illumined with gold��
     And the bark of the shepherd's brave dog
         Shoots away from the sheltering fold。

     Page�此�32 
     Down the depths of yon rock´border'd glade��
         A torrent goes foaming along��
     And the blind´owls retire into shade��
         And the bell´bird beginneth its song。
     By the side of that yawning abyss��
         Where the vapours are hurrying to��
     We will merrily pass�察�looking down to the grass
         For the tracks of the wild Kangaroo��
                 We will merrily pass��
                 Looking down to the grass
         For the tracks of the wild Kangaroo。


     Ho�察�brothers�察�away to the woods��
         Euroka hath clambered the hill��
     But the morning there seldom intrudes��
         Where the night´shadows slumber on still。
     We will roam o'er these forest´lands wild��
         And thread the dark masses of vines��
     Where the winds�察�like the voice of a child��
         Are singing aloft in the pines。
     We must keep down the glee of our hounds��
         We must steal through the glittering dew��
     And the breezes shall sleep as we cautiously creep
         To the haunts of the wild Kangaroo。
                 And the breezes shall sleep��
                 As we cautiously creep
         To the haunts of the wild Kangaroo。


     When we pass through a stillness like death
         The swamp fowl and timorous quail��
     Like the leaves in a hurricane's breath��
         Will start from their nests in the vale��
     And the forester��* snuffing the air��
         Will bound from his covert so dark��
     While we follow along in the rear��
         As arrows speed on to their mark��
     Then the swift hounds shall bring him to bay��
         And we'll send forth a hearty halloo��
     As we gather them all to be in at the fall ´
         At the death of the wild Kangaroo��
                 As we gather them all
                 To be in at the fall ´
         At the death of the wild Kangaroo��

CLARI


     TOO cold�察�O my brother�察�too cold for my wife
         Is the Beauty you showed me this morning��
     Nor yet have I found the sweet dream of my life��
         And good´bye to the sneering and scorning。
     Would you have me cast down in the dark of her frown��
         Like others who bend at her shrine��
     And would barter their souls for a statue´like face��
         And a heart that can never be mine��
                 That can never be theirs nor mine。


     Go after her�察�look at her�察�kneel at her feet��
         And mimic the lover romantic��
     I have hated deceit�察�and she misses the treat
         Of driving me hopelessly frantic��
     Now watch her�察�as deep in her carriage she lies��
         And love her�察�my friend�察�if you dare��
     She would wither your life with her beautiful eyes��
         And strangle your soul with her hair��
                 With a mesh of her splendid hair。

WOLLONGONG


     LET me talk of years evanished�察�let me harp upon the time
     When we trod these sands together�察�in our boyhood's golden prime��
     Let me lift again the curtain�察�while I gaze upon the past��
     As the sailor glances homewards�察�watching from the topmost mast。
     Here we rested on the grasses�察�in the glorious summer hours��
     When the waters hurried seaward�察�fringed with ferns and forest flowers��
     When our youthful eyes�察�rejoicing�察�saw the sunlight round the spray
     In a rainbow´wreath of splendour�察�glittering underneath the day��
     Sunlight flashing past the billows�察�falling cliffs and crags among��
     Clothing hopeful friendship basking on the shores of Wollongong。

     Echoes of departed voices�察�whispers from forgotten dreams��
     Come across my spirit�察�like the murmurs of melodious streams。
     Here we both have wandered nightly�察�when the moonshine cold and pale
     Shimmer'd on the cone of Keira�察�sloping down the sleeping vale��
     When the mournful waves came sobbing�察�sobbing on the furrowed shore��
     Like to lone hearts weeping over loved ones they shall see no more��
     While the silver ripples�察�stealing past the shells and slimy stones��
     Broke beneath the caverns�察�dying�察�one by one�察�in muffled moans��
     As the fragrant wood´winds roaming�察�with a fitful cadence sung
     'Mid the ghostly branches belting round the shores of Wollongong。


     Lovely faces flit before us�察�friendly forms around us stand��
     Gleams of well´remembered gladness trip along the yellow sand。
     Here the gold´green waters glistened underneath our dreaming gaze��
     As the lights of Heaven slanted down the pallid ether haze��
     Here the mossy rock´pool�察�like to one that stirs himself in sleep��
     Trembled every moment at the roaring of the restless deep��
     While the stately vessels swooping to the breezes fair and free��
     Passed away like sheeted spectres�察�fading down the distant sea��
     And our wakened fancies sparkled�察�and our soul´born thoughts we strung
     Into joyous lyrics�察�singing with the waves of Wollongong。


     Low´breathed strains of sweetest music float about my raptured ears��
     Angel´eyes are glancing at me hopeful smiles and happy tears。
     Merry feet go scaling up the old and thunder´shattered steeps��
     And the billows clamber after�察�and the surge to ocean leaps��
     Scattered into fruitless showers�察�falling where the breakers roll��
     Baffled like the aspirations of a proud ambitious soul。
     Far off sounds of silvery laughter through the hollow caverns ring��
     While my heart leaps up to catch reviving pleasure on the wing��
     And the years come trooping backward�察�and we both again are young��
     Walking side by side upon the lovely shores of Wollongong。

     Fleeting dreams and idle fancies� �Lo�察�the gloomy after Age
     Creepeth�察�like an angry shadow�察�over life's eventful stage��
     Joy is but a mocking phantom�察�throwing out its glitter brief ´
     Short´lived as the western sunbeam dying from the cedar leaf。
     Here we linger�察�lonely´hearted�察�musing over visions fled��
     While the sickly twilight withers from the arches overhead。
     Semblance of a bliss delusive are those dull�察�receding rays��
     Semblance of the faint reflection left to us of other days��
     Days of vernal hope and gladness�察�hours when the blossoms sprung
     Round the feet of blithesome ramblers by the shores of Wollongong。
