The Australian Sunrise Comments

And i

Mr Campbell taught us this poem about 1950 at Croydon Public School

I too learnt this poem in high school in the middle fifties. Furthermore we sang it in the all girl school choir and I have long remembered being thrilled by the harmonies. I wonder if it was ever recorded.

I too learnt this poem, in high school in the middle fifties. Furthermore we sang it in the school choir and I remember being moved and thrilled by the harmonies. I wonder if it has ever been recorded.

This is a poem Iearned by heart in grade 6 in 1952 when I arrived in Australia from Scotland. I still love it.

Beautiful word picture and so true

After thr works of Henry Clarence Kendall, specially 'Bellbirds', this would be my favourite piece of Australian verse. The lyrical flow is almost music to the ear.
