Poems by Charles Harpur
A Poet's Home
... Despatchd though savoury, both should forth to taste ...
Burns
... and she, Who mid its perilous breakers might have stood ...

... Somewhere in Natures motherly breast theres ruth ...
A Sonnet dedicated to Sir George Gipps
... Hands grasping all, through party means, to seize ...
The Master Mariners Song
... Save when the breeze straining in lengthend escape ...
An Anthem for the Australasian League
... Not for Old World queens and kings, ...

... When wide warm fields are glad with corn as green as ever grew, ...

The Ideal
... Give to the heart stern strength and lift the soul on high! ...
Dreams of the Beloved
... Thus blest in sleep, who would not weep to wake ...
Words
... And many a lay that schoolboys scan ...

... Or bright, or dark, through thee,this missive says ...
The Flight of Peace
... There too, there, to irk the stranger, ...
Could we as Mortals
... How little cared for that which now is most our care ...
'Yes'
... What boundless power is thine to bless! ...
