Unfathomable Night! how dost thou sweep Over the flooded earth, and darkly hide
Una mora de Trípoli tenía
Una perla rosada, una gran perla:
A WAIL was heard around the bed, the death-bed of the young, Amidst her tears the Funeral Chant a mournful mother sung.
Still farther would I fly, my child,
To make thee safer yet,
A little soul scarce fledged for earth
Takes wing with heaven again for goal
Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near!
No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay!
Yielding clod lulls iron off to sleep
bloods clot the patches where they oozed
The Plains lay bare on the homeward route,
And the march was heavy on man and brute;
More than a hundred years ago
They raised for her this little stone;
Years have trailed past like clouds over a country,
And they'll never return, for they're gone forever,
As I went down by Hastings Mill I lingered in my going
To smell the smell of piled-up deals and feel the salt wind blowing,
The womb
Rattles its pod, the moon
Alone I set out on the road; The flinty path is sparkling in the mist;
My pony and I go to Songdo,

The girl smiled and said: What
is the secret of this gold ring,
I stood at eve, as the sun went down, by a grave where a woman lies,
Who lured men's souls to the shores of sin with the light of h
Do you remember once, in Paris of glad faces,
The night we wandered off under the third moon's rays
How quiet
It is in this sick room
Still flowed the music, flowed the wine.
The youth in silence went;
The mountain road goes up and down
From Gundagai to Tumut Town.
Mournful groans, as when a tempest lowers,
Mourn, O you Loves and Cupids and such of you as love beauty:
There are tears that fall in grief and sadness;
Slow and mournfully the cheek they stain,
These were our children who died for our lands: they were dear in our sight.
We have only the memory left of their hometreasured sayings and laughter.
He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon.
I am ever busy building this wall all around; and as this wall goes up into
