WESTLAND
The Southern Alps with their minn.rets of snow, Rapid rivers rippling as they flow,. ’1 he ocean waves dashing on tlm sandy shore. And Westland, New Zealand's gem for evermore. Wealth ol forest, billon ing bills, with lofty trees. Sighing"mill swaying to the southern breeze. (Jorge greens in (Him, and Arthur's Pass of noted fame. Westland I all these your beauties 11 rni laim. Placid hikes like emeralds set oil your breast, In the distnu e .Mount Cook's silvery crest. Giant, hind's towering up from the sea, Westland, you fairy you’re calling to me. Glaciers with melting ice of varied hue. Mountains cut clear against a sky of blue. The setting sun reflected on the snow afar. Ami Westland 'beneath the Southern Cross and Evening Star.
Snow capped peaks, like angels with silvery crowns. Seem to whisper to your towns. Of love and peace, of happiness and all things nice. Westland, oft your beauties turn mv thoughts to paradise. —IL Do BANKER, Ross.
