A FEDERAL SONG
In the greyness of the dawning we have seen the
pilot-star,
In the whisper of the morning we have heard the
years afar.
Shall we sleep and let them be
When they call to you and me?
Can we break the land asunder God has girdled with
the Sea?
For the Flag is floating o'er us,
And the track is clear before us,
From the desert to the ocean, let us lift the mighty
chorus
For the days that are to be.

We have flung the challenge forward: "Brothers,
stand or fall as One!"
She is coming out to meet us in the splendour of the
Sun.
