Excerpt from Ballads and Addresses An Empire-Chantey And, lo! the mother to her children called: For all my years I am not old, I do not falter in my pace. Yet some there are whose envy I have galled, Whose might exceeds a hundred-fold The strength of this my island-race. And up from the ends of the earth they came - Rolling along! Rolling along! "'Tis glory to die to save her shame" - Singing the old home-song. In from the out-back block afar, Where the sheep in their hundred thousand are, In from the factory, in from the mine, In from their work on the autumn vine, - Rolling along at the mother's hest, From the back-o'-beyond they brought their best. Call us, mother, call us, - Over earth, where'er it be, Call on - no call can stall us: There's no nation like to thee.
