In a stream across the paddocks green!

At their head, twelve Ibis slender,

Hid from view a kind of Tender

Borne upon the backs of Iguanas strong!

This, first strewn with sweet wild clover,

Was with bush flowers covered over;

One fair bloom for ev’ry member of the throng!

These, as Tribute was intended

For the Queen Moon great and splendid,

Whom to honour and to serve
