RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS
(H.Lawson/C.Kempster}

The valley's full of misty cloud
Its tinted beauty drowning
The Eucalypti roar aloud
The mountain fronts are frowning

The mist is hanging like a pall
From many granite ledges
And many a little waterfall
Starts o'er the valley's edges

The sky is of a leaden grey
Save where the north is surly
The driven daylight speeds away
And night comes o'er us early

But, love, the rain will pass full soon
Far sooner than my sorrow
And in a golden afternoon
The sun may set tomorrow
