Excerpt from By Suns and StarsThe Lord hath set her portals by the sea, Afront the rolling tide of India's ¿ood, Whereon the vagrant winds blow lustily, Whereon the red sun dies in sheets of blood.With jutting cape she bites the heaving blue, Or sucks it into estuary and bay, Or cradles it on sandy beach to woo Sea-urchins through the drowsy summer day.With jarrah canopies She crowns her hills, She ¿akes her slopes with many-coloured blooms And in her valleys, cleft by crooning rills, The graceful bracken ¿aunts its fronded plumes. She shrouds the silent plain in spinifex, And drapes it in a dim mysterious veil, And there she limns the false mirage that becks The lost prospector on a hopeless trail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
