Dardanelles Gumleaf

Main

Record numberLH020233Date1915DescriptionVerse I - Only a GUM LEAF, that is all, from AUSTRALIA'S bush-ruled land, Yet my thoughts go back to days of old. When this leaf is in my hand.
Verse II - Once more I ride as free as the wind, O'er mountains and rolling plain, Catching the echoes of the bush And the bell-bird's sweet refrain.
Verse III - The trickling stream and the torrents roar. Ah! the crisp and scenty air, The waving wheat, so tall and gold, it seems so wondrous fair.
Verse IV - Oh! for the sight when the FLOWER GOD comes, And the golden wattles bloom. The land of bush and the land of plain, THE LAND OF PLENTY OF ROOM. G.H. Foster.
