“ Thinkers, planners, if ye feel the love of country stir your hearts,
Help to write the bravest chapter of a fair young nation's story –
Great she'll be as Europe's greatest, more magnificent in ruth! –
That our children's children standing in the rose light of her glory
May all honour us who loved her, and who crowned her in her youth!
This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. ”

“ But the big-souled men have only hate for huckstering and for sloth,
These would barter down division, tear away the bonds that stifle,
And would free our dear Australia for the larger, nobler growth. ”

“ The longest-living author of this work died in 1931, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 91 years or less. This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works. ”
