To The Women Of Australia

Topics: classic

A toast to the splendid daughters     Of the New World over the waters,          A world that is great as new;     Daughters of brave old races,     Daughters of heights and spaces,     Broad seas and broad earth places -          Hail to your land and you!     The sun and the winds have fed you;     The width of your world has led you          Out into the larger view;     Strong with a strength that is tender,     Bright with a primal splendour,     Homage and praise we render -          Hail to your land and you!     Sisters and daughters and mothers,     Standing abreast with your brothers,          Working for things that are true;     Thinking and doing and daring,     Giving, receiving, and sharing,     Earning the crowns you are wearing -          Hail to your land and you!
