IV.
MY AUSTRALIAN SPURS OLD and worn my Bushland spurs Hang above my desk to-day. Memory, on that broom of hers, Witchlike bears my heart away, Over seas that restless roll, 'Neath forgotten stars that shine, To a dim and distant goal In a land that once was mine.
There I wake where Dawn has trod, Bind again those friends of steel, As the happy morning god Binds the sunlight on his heel, Taking back on golden plains Youth set free of Time's reproofs, Laughter loosening the reins, Joy that speed...s the lifting hoofs.
30 MY AUSTRALIAN SPURS Gathering from the morning mist Come the comrades loved of old, Brown of cheek and red of wrist, And with hearts of royal gold, Iron-thighed and lithe and lean, Toilers of the rope and brand, Men who know what friendships mean And the worth of hand on hand.
Through the drowsy Bush we ride (Lonely, worn Australian spurs !) Half the world can ne'er divide These our exiled hearts from hers ! From her gum-trees* chequered shade, From her rivers brown and low, From the call our hearts obeyed Long, and long, and long ago !
