And far over…head sinking softly to slumber
Worn out by their watching； the stars fall asleep。
To eastward； where resteth the dome of the skies on
The sea…line； stirs softly the curtain of night；
And far from behind the enshrouded horizon
Comes the voice of a God saying 〃Let there be light。〃
And lo； there is light！ Evanescent and tender；
It glows ruby…red where 'twas now ashen…grey；
And purple and scarlet and gold in its splendour
Behold； 'tis that marvel； the birth of a day！
The Reveille
Trumpets of the Lancer Corps；
Sound a loud reveille；
Sound it over Sydney shore；
Send the message far and wide
Down the Richmond River side
Boot and saddle； mount and ride；
Sound a loud reveille。
Whither go ye； Lancers gay；
With your bold reveille？
O'er the ocean far away
From your sunny southern home；
Over leagues of trackless foam；
In a foreign land to roam
With your bold reveille。
When we hear our brethren call；
Sound a clear reveille。
Then we answer； one and all；
Answer that the world may see；
〃Of the English stock are we；
At their side we still will be〃
That's our bold reveille。
