A SONG FOR YOUNG NEW ZEALAND.
. ; .." - ' » . ■— :. ■_■■ V -• (By James R. Wilkinson, M.A., Chertsey.) Come cheer for young New Zealand, The sunny isle, the free land; And cheer for dear old England, Our grand old Fatherland. . Our corn on wide fields reaping, Our sheep on broad lands keeping, Our forests silent sleeping. Gather, brothers, on the hill land, And shout for young New Zealand With a clash, and a clang, And a ohecr, and a shout, And a shout for young New Zealand. . Australia, we call to thee, Land of warmth and liberty ; Make us one mighty nation, Ruling wjde the Southern ocean ; With engines 1 thunder shaken, With woman's beauty taken, With homeß for the forsaken — Gather brothers on the lowland, And cheer for young New Zealand. With a clash, and a olang, And a cheer, and a shout, And a shout for young New Zealand. Hark ! nations to our obeering, True Freedom's day is nearing, Strong voices o'er the earth have sped, Tyrannies are dying — dead ; And Soience all shall know, 1 And young lands shall grow, And Peace shall overflow. Brothers, sisters, on the sea sand, Come cheer for young New Zealand. With a clash, and a olang, And a cheer, and a shout, . And a shout for young New Zealand mmrr.
