Deck the altar with blue-gum flowers
Beautiful, pure, and sweet!
And let the children strew honey'd showers
Of white-gum blooms at my feet.
Pluck sweet white myrtle my hair to spray—
None sweeter was ever borne;
And apple-blossoms for my bouguet,
For this is my bridal morn.
Prate not to me of old orange-bowers,
Or your customs of over sea;
I’ll honour ever my native flowers,
And be true to my own countree.
