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。
Page�此�34
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。
ELLA WITH THE SHINING HAIR
THROUGH many a fragrant cedar grove
