SYDNEY HEIGHTS.
Killara, fair Killarn, thy beauty cannot cease, ■Where sliarle and silence watch beside the sleeping face of I'eace. Wilh woodland flon-'rcts to the knees among the shafted gums. And roses, roses, roses round the nests of hidden homes. The thought of thee will sing to mc when we the leagues apart. O green woods of Killara! White moonlight on Killara! C.reat roses of Killara bend down above my heart. rrineess of subtle magic, O Sydney of delight! Thy crown of living gems Is east upon the waves at night, Where emerald burns to ruby, and a thous nnd diamonds move Wilh interlacing rays to form the diadem of lore. Though tossing seas or lonely plains may hold us far apart, The dancing lights of Sydney, The fairy-lamps of Sydney. The firefly lights of Sydney nights are shining in my heart. t— Edward Tregear.
