VI. Australia

35. O my Australia!

O my Australia, Australia, Australia!
I love your beauty’s vastness green,
I love your heart’s sweet unseen cry.
Your new soul knows no bondage-screen;
It beckons your body’s strength to fly.

O my Australia, Australia, Australia!
No foe have you. A matchless surprise!
Your simple, soulful life of love
At God’s express Hour-Choice shall rise.
Yours is the trumpet-triumph here and above.
O my Australia, Australia, Australia!
