In the early years, ere the spirit Of war
was abroad in the land on Its mission 1 OF woe,
In the twilight b dim On gam the S0Hppns 'h0s
In musical notes, soft and low,
The voice Of the slave was heard,
As his paddle the water stirred,
Singing, Row, row, DER the waters 50 blue;
Like a fairy float IN my gum-tree canoe
In the later years, when the spirit Of war
Innamed every heart, and a nation IN arms
Grim bvouac kept on the gun-swept shore
OF the troubled James:
When we paused in the lnll OF alarms'
From camp on the nil,
In the twilight stlll,
The voice Of our cOmrade was heard
In tones that our bosoms stirred, 49,
Singing, Row, row, Ger the waters 50 6ino'
Like fairy FIAT In my gum-tree canoe
In these later years. when the spirit Of peace
Has stllled the fierce passions OF brothers TO esS

In a sunlight far brighter than shone before,
Gut an echo comes back from that tar-away shore.
And we almost fancy we hear
Those musical notes, soft and clear,
Singing Row row, DER the waters 80 blue;
Lie fairy hoat in my gum-troe canoe, :,
