5. The Australian Sunrise - Gavin Lockley/Sharolyn Kimmorley/Sonja Schebeck/Paul Laszlo[00:00:00]
Written by:Gavin Lockley/Banjo Patterson[00:00:13]
The Morning Star paled slowly[00:00:26]
The Cross hung low to the sea[00:00:31]
And down the shadowy reaches[00:00:36]
The tide came swirling free[00:00:40]
The lustrous purple blackness of[00:00:45]
The soft Australian night[00:00:49]
Waned in the gray awakening[00:00:54]
That heralded the light[00:00:59]
Still in the dying darkness[00:01:13]
Still in the forest dim[00:01:18]
The pearly dew of the dawning[00:01:22]
Clung to each giant limb[00:01:26]
Till the sun came up from ocean[00:01:30]
Red with the cold sea mist[00:01:36]
And smote on the limestone ridges[00:01:40]
And the shining tree-tops kissed[00:01:44]
Then the fiery Scorpion vanished[00:02:09]
The magpie's note was heard[00:02:13]
And the wind in the she-oak wavered[00:02:17]
And the honeysuckles stirred[00:02:22]
The airy golden vapour[00:02:27]
Rose from the river breast[00:02:32]
The kingfisher came darting out[00:02:36]
Of his crannied nest[00:02:40]
And the bulrushes and reed-beds[00:02:44]
Put off their sallow gray[00:02:49]
And burnt with cloudy crimson[00:02:54]
At dawning of the day[00:02:58]
The Morning Star paled slowly[00:03:07]
The Cross hung low to the sea[00:03:12]
And down the shadowy reaches[00:03:16]
The tide came swirling free[00:03:20]
The lustrous purple blackness of[00:03:24]
The soft Australian night[00:03:28]
Waned in the gray awakening[00:03:33]
That heralded the light[00:03:38]
