Prate not to me of foreign strand, <br />Of beauty o'er the sea - <br />"This is my own - my native land" - <br />The only land for me! <br /> <br />The only land for me <br />The only land for me <br />"This is my own - my native land" - <br />The only land for me! <br /> <br />I love to roam, like a wild gazelle, <br />O'er my native mountains blue, <br />And wildly, thro' the woody dell, <br />Chase the bounding kangaroo! <br /> <br />The bounding kangaroo <br />The bounding kangaroo <br />And wildly thro' the woody dell <br />Chase the bounding kangaroo! <br /> <br />I've rode upon the stormy wave, <br />I've danc'd aboon the sea; <br />And where's the pleasure that it gave <br />Like my native land to me? <br /> <br />My native land to me <br />My native land to me <br />And where's the pleasure that it gave <br />Like my native land to me?<br /><br />Anonymous Oceania<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-only-land-for-me-a-currency-lad/
