And far over…head sinking softly to slumber
Worn out by their watching; the stars fall asleep。
To eastward; where resteth the dome of the skies on
The sea…line; stirs softly the curtain of night;
And far from behind the enshrouded horizon
Comes the voice of a God saying 〃Let there be light。〃
And lo; there is light! Evanescent and tender;
It glows ruby…red where 'twas now ashen…grey;
And purple and scarlet and gold in its splendour
Behold; 'tis that marvel; the birth of a day!
The Reveille
Trumpets of the Lancer Corps;
Sound a loud reveille;
Sound it over Sydney shore;
Send the message far and wide
Down the Richmond River side
Boot and saddle; mount and ride;
Sound a loud reveille。
Whither go ye; Lancers gay;
With your bold reveille?
O'er the ocean far away
From your sunny southern home;
Over leagues of trackless foam;
In a foreign land to roam
With your bold reveille。
When we hear our brethren call;
Sound a clear reveille。
Then we answer; one and all;
Answer that the world may see;
〃Of the English stock are we;
At their side we still will be〃
That's our bold reveille。
End
