Sunrise at tropical Mission Beach in far north Queensland, Australia.
The Australian Sunrise
“The Morning Star paled slowly, the Cross hung
low to the sea,
And down the shadowy reaches the tide came
swirling free,
The lustrous purple blackness of the soft
Australian night,
Waned in the grey awakening that heralded
the light;
Still in the dying darkness, still in the forest dim,
The pearly dew of the dawning clung to each
giant limb,
Till the sun came up from ocean, red with the
cold sea mist,
And smote on the limestone ridges, and the
shining tree-tops kissed;
Then the fiery Scorpion vanished, the magpie’s
note was heard, And the wind in the sheoak
wavered and the honeysuckles stirred;
The airy golden vapour rose from the river breast,
The kingfisher came darting out of his
crannied nest,
And the bullrushes and reed-beds put off their
sallow grey
And burnt with cloudy crimson at the dawning
of the day.”
