1
So you rode from the range where your brothers select
2
Through the ghostly grey bush in the dawn
3
You rode slowly at first lest her heart should suspect
4
That you were so glad to be gone
5
You had scarcely the courage to glance back at her
6
By the homestead receding from view
7
And you breathed with relief as you rounded the spur
8
For the world was a wide world to you
9
Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain
10
Fond heart that is ever more true
11
Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain
12
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
13
Ah the world is a new and a wide one to you
14
But the world to your sweetheart is shut
15
For a change never comes to the lonely bush girl
16
From the stockyard the bush and the hut
17
And the only relief from its dullness she feels
18
Is when ridges grow softened and dim
19
And away in the dusk to the sliprails she steals
20
To dream of past meetings with him
21
Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain
22
Fond heart that is ever more true
23
Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain
24
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
25
Do you think where in place of bare fences dry creeks
26
Clear streams and green hedges are seen
27
Where the girls have lily and rose in their cheeks
28
And the grass in midsummer is green?
29
Do you think now and then now or then in the whirl
30
Of the city while London is new
31
Of the hut in the bush and the freckled-face girl
32
Who is eating her heart out for you?
33
Grey eyes that grow sadder than sunset or rain
34
Fond heart that is ever more true
35
Firm faith that grows firmer for watching in vain
36
She'll wait by the sliprails for you
37
Those grey eyes that are sadder than sunset or rain
38
Bruised heart that is ever more true
39
Fond faith that is firmer for trusting in vain
40
She waits by the sliprails for you
41
She waits by the sliprails for you
42
Waits by the sliprails for you
43
Just for you
