Seaweed, Tussock and Fern

Emblems of storm and danger,
    Spindrift and mountain stern,
Plants that welcome the stranger—
    Seaweed, tussock, and fern.

Known to the world-wide ranger,
    Who sailed on the “Never Return,”
Emblems of storm and danger—
    Flax and tussock and fern.

Plants that welcome the stranger,
    Sea-swept and driven astern,
Beloved by the wide-world ranger—
    Seaweed, tussock, and fern.
