BEYOND COOLGARDIB.

Thf.y are fighting beyond Coolgardie, dusty and worn and brown, Leading the outward legion from dawn till the sun goes down, Under their blue sky-banner, standing true to their guns, Singly and shoulder to shoulder, brothers and sires and sons.

They are faint in the burning noon-day, and weary when day is dead, They have never a thought of resting till Hope from their hearts has fled, They are toiling— for a sweetheart, and some for a home and wife, And many are striving for riches, and some are fighting for life 1 They are dying beyond Coolgardie in sight of their untouched prize, With no one to break Death's tidings, and no one to close their eyes ; Tliey lie in the scrub aud the sand-wreath, with never a stone to mark The grave where the bush-crows gather, and the dingo crosses at dark ! They are reading the news by the slush-lamps and under the chandeliers, And the words of the dazzling message are blurred with the readers' tears ; Tliey are praying, away to the southwardmothers and daughters and wives— Asking no golden harvest but only their loved ones' lives I Glenbowan, in Australasian.
