— C9 Far to the south, she sees the billows toss, Upon their foam, the sleeping Albatross, Till, rudely startled by their restless roar, He wanders, screaming, to his desart shore ! M Australia, in her varied forms, expands, And opens to the sky her hundred lands, From where the day-beam paints the waters blue, Around the blessed islands of Arroo, — And life, in all its myriad mouldings, plays, Amid the beauty of the tropic blaze, — AUSTRALIA. 201 Where summer watches with undying eye, And equa...l day and night divide the sky, — Where the throned Phoebus wakens all the flowers, To do him homage in his own bright bowers, — And Cynthia, on her empyrean height, Holds crowded levee through the livelong night, — Where starlight is a gala of the skies, And sunset is a cloud-sketched paradise ; — Away — away, to where the billows rave, Around the quenched volcano's echoing cave, — 31 Where she, the lonely beauty, sits and smiles, 32 In sweetness, like an orphan of the isles, Fair as fair Aphrodite on the deep, But lone as Ariadne on her steep !
