text_original: to wail thy loss afar, Who 'neath the Southern Cross long hailed thee as a star. Thou wert our Statesman  to apply Wise counsels best; No selfish partisan to raise a cry For East or West. Prepared for Right to stand or fall   Deaf to the foeman's threat, or bigot's call   'Twas thine to live and die, the sire and friend of all.
