SIR HENRY PARKES.
Ere scarce from out obscurity shone clear The radiant beauty of her morning face, Or beamed the vision of htr queenly grace, Australia saw the grand old pioneer Plant foot upon her ihore to plead herpart In g ilden ph.ase and lead her proudly forth, The rival of the nations of the north. This was the one great longing of his heart, ( His wisdom's vast Intent and glorious aim, And triumph waited his re»olvo. To-day Attesting thousands mournful tribute pay I And Fame conserves the greatness of his name, And shrines him in her palace fair, afar, To live with those that there eternal are. South Dunedin, May 1896. —P. B. Nolan.
