Christmas,n Aus,ral,a.


. Yes! This is the happily Christmas time ant
yet how strange 1t seems!
Ihe crimson flush on the towering brush
-, the flame on the splendid streams;
The suns bold glance-the mirage-dance o.
the bright Australian noon
AS the Warm-b reathed breeze just stirs thu
, trees that glrdle the broad lagoon.
St1ll, as | gaze on the blooms that fringe
the wild creeks sunny flow,
1 think of faces far away where the fields
are white with snow,
And wonder and weep: "Will their mem
cries keep,
A sacred place for an absent face
Five Thousand leagues away2"
Again | see the old elm tree, with It's
branches bleak and bare,
ana the rustic seat where lovers meet
yes; lovers and seat are there;
And i fancy | know that arch, bright
~, smile, the turn of the gllttering curl
That hangs dixie the spray of the fruitful
vine) on the neck of lovely grill :,
And the sterner face above her bent is lit
with a softer light
AS her voice falls low like wavelet S
song when sunset fades to night.
And they list to the merry Christmas
chimes
And laugh. Ah well-a- dayl
Does she ever think Of changeless face
Five thousand leagues away?
The snow may rest In last years nest that
hangs in the hazel copse,
But the birds will fit through the bougfls
and sit again in the rocking tops;
Though the cottage caves are lone ana
miss the flash of Il welcome ring,
We know the swallows will come again
with the sunshine and the spring.
And so, returned, an old, old love in each
true bosom sWells,
When the sad, sweet rhymes of an ancient
time chimes in with the Christmas
bells.
All! then their memories turn to me,
And Gods blessing" still | pray
On the eyes that dim when they think OF
him
Five thousand leagues away!
know life's time Of golden prlme--the
beautiful time Of yore-
Has faded away, like Il fallen star that
will shine In heaven no more.
And | sometimes yearn to backward turn
my steps, and Il day reliye
That my lips might sound the happy laugh
that only a child can give!
But, ali! It's vain; we can ne'cr regain our
childhood's sand Of gold;
'Tis well as our bodies fade and fall If our
spirits grow not Old!
That heart to heart in love may start
With the bells of each Christmas day;
Lord, keep our memories green for
those
Five thousand leagues away!
