And the flowers, bathed in light,

Seemed to tremble, as with fright,

When the straying Autumn breezes gently blew!

For the fingers of the wind

Caught them playfully behind,

And so doing, shook their fragrance on the air!

Threw it broadcast on the undulating air!

Out beyond the garden fences,

Through the paddocks, there commences

The unbroken bushland prime;
