Australian Federation

From all division let our land be free,
For God has made her one : complete she lies
Within the unbroken circle of the skies,
And round her indivisible the sea
Breaks on her single shore ; while only we,
Her foster children, bound with sacred ties
Of one dear blood, one storied enterprise,

Are negligent of her integrity. —
Her seamless garment, at great Mammon's nod,
With hands unfilial we have basely rent,
With petty variance our souls are spent,
And ancient kinship underfoot is trod :
O let us rise, united, penitent,
And be one people, — mighty, serving God !
