Above the chaos of Political ills,
Through the Battles of the Politicians STRIFE,
Now, while the noise of warning Factions fills
With danger each voters life,
We see security for the Nation.
Strange it is
That adversely should lead us to the Right.
But, as the dashing waves always recede
To gather force to increase their might,
Then with q power that must be obeyed
Plunges, with force, on the beach with ease ;
So voters sometimes seem to retrograde-
Spurns the Party whip, and Bosses shiver in
in the backward move we gather strength
To gain our Party victory at length.
