See the dark face
large eyes appealing,
Withered, distorted limbs
Scant clothes revealing.
...
On their long, slim, silver stems
The plumes of the blue gum sway,
Each feather a lancet leaf,
Each proud plume green blue grey.
...
Those were the days,
Ay, those were the days,
Leaping o'er puddles
And making up plays,
...
