lirik lagu richard mitchley - a song for january 26th 1824 by charles tompson
when first above the briny surge
australia reared her towing crest
the roaring gales confounded fled
the troubled billows sunk to rest
and proud above the azure flood
fixed and immoveable she stood
the tritons, with their writhen sh~lls
made all the hollow grots rebound;
earth to her inmost centre shook
old ocean trembled at the sound
and, august, from his crystal caves
rose neptune, sovereign of the waves
this hand his foaming steeds restrained
and that the mighty trident bore
which, when the angry monarch strikes
his empire roars from shore to shore
he raged not now; but, with a smile
prophetic, thus addressed our isle:
“commerce, on halcyon wings, shall hail
thy havens, yet to man unknown
and loyalty shall stamp thy name
the brightest gem in albion’s crown!
while the prolific bosom pours
earth’s richest gifts in lavish show’rs.”
thus spoke the god, then dived beneath;
the peaceful calm was now no more
the howling gales resumed their ire
the billows dashed the sounding shore
and wind and waves, without control
bellowed their rage from pole to pole
ages have rolled their circling orbs
since dumb creation heard the tale
still each returning year beheld
rude darkness o’er our isle prevail;
but now the dawn of science gleams
and hope streams wide her ruddy beams
