Excerpt from By Suns and Stars The Song of the West The Lord hath set her portals by the sea, Afront the rolling tide of India's flood, Whereon the vagrant winds blow lustily, Whereon the red sun dies in sheets of blood. With jutting cape she bites the heaving blue, Or sucks it into estuary and bay, Or cradles it on sandy beach to woo Sea-urchins through the drowsy summer day. With jarrah canopies she crowns her hills, She flakes her slopes with many-coloured blooms And in her valleys, cleft by crooning rills, The graceful bracken flaunts its fronded plumes. She shrouds the silent plain in spinifex, And drapes it in a dim mysterious veil, And there she limns the false mirage that becks The lost prospector on a hopeless trail. She hath a song for all who care to hear, A melody that throbs a flush of day, And falls soft-toned upon the list'ning ear - A chorus where a million voices play, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
