VERSES (Written on board the s.s. Wentworth on hem..' from Auckland to Sj-dney). p^* Auckland, farewell, my sunny home Thy hills recede from sight: ' The sun sinks in the golden West And stars illume the night. ' I leave thee for a distant land, For Sydney's tranquil shore ; My heart beats fast to think that I May view yon scenes no more. I leave behind me all I love, The friends of early days ; And all the dear delights of home, AVhere fancy often strays I never, never, may return, If Heaven should deem it wise That I my future years should pass 'Neath blue Australian skies. But if my health should be preserved, I yet may seek thyiihore ; And sail across the surging main ! To those I love once more. W.P.A;
