Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Where the golden wattles rise, up into the purple skies
Where the west wind softly sighs, cool and deep
Where the camp fire glimmers bright, near the salt bush silver white
Where the Cross gleams through the night, sleep, sleep, Oh! sleep!
Till the eastern fires shall stain, grey and gold the trackless plain
Till the bell-bird wakes again, day shall peep
Slumber till the night is done, dream of goals that shall be won
With the rising of the sun, sleep, sleep, Oh! sleep!
