“ Speak, speak, speak, O Soul-white rose for me,
Say, say to her my heart in silence grieves.
Lonely and sad it grieves amidst the careless throng . . .
Ah, green are the waving trees in the woods of Dandenong! ”

“ And ah, but the world is cold and the way is dark and long;
And oh, that we were once more in the woods of Dandenong.
