Towards the South she passed brightly away, <br> And at once, as from slumber, he started; <br>But the cadences sweet of the welcoming lay <br> Yet breathed of the vision departed; <br>And when o’er the deep these had fadingly spread, <br>The swell of his heart, as he rose from his bed, <br>Broke loud into words on his tongue, and he said— <br> “Be the home of my hope, then, Australia!” </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Charles+Harpur">Charles Harpur</a><div class=q>
