ANZAC |
|
|
|
BY PURPLE HILLS AND OPALESCENT SEA |
|
|
|
|
AND SUNLIT LEAGUES OF PLAIN THEY LIVED, AND THEY |
|
|
BY BARTLETT ADAMSON |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WERE SUMMERY-HEARTED ALL, AND LIFE WAS GAY |
|
|
|
|
|
AND PEACE WAS THEIRS, AND LOVE, AND LIBERTY |
|
|
|
AND WHEN THE CLARION SOUNDED SUDDENLY |
|
|
|
THEY WENT, A ROLLICKING BAND OF BOYS AT PLAY, |
|
|
|
TILTED AT DOOM, AND THERE, AT ANZAC BAY |
|
|
DIED....BUT THEY TAUGHT THE WORLD WHAT MEN THERE BE |
|
|
|
AND ANZAC NOW IS AN ENCHANTED SHORE; |
|
|
|
A TRAGIC SPLENDOR, AND A HOLY NAME; |
|
|
|
A DEED ETERNITY WILL STILL ACLAIM; |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
A LOSS THAT CROWNS THE VICTORIES OF YORE; |
|
|
|
|
|
A GLITTERING GOLDEN DOME FOR EVERMORE |
|
|
|
|
|
SHINING ABOVE THE MINARETS OF FAME |
