Emptied of us the land, Ghostly our going, Fallen, like spears the hand Dropped in the throwing.We are the lost who went, Like the cranes, crying; Hu… - Mary Gilmore

It was, it was a fairy man Who came to town today.
"I'll make a cake for sixpence, If you will pay, will pay."I paid him with a sixpence, And with a penny, too;
He made a cake of rainbows, And baked it in the dew.
[...]
He iced it with a moonbeam, He patterned it with play,
And sprinkled it with star-dust From off the Milky Way.

I never knew how wide the dark,
I never knew the depth of space,
I never knew how frail a bark,
How small is man within his place,Not till I heard the swans go by,
Not till I marked their haunting cry,
Not till, within the vague on high,
I watched them pass across the sky. ...

It's us two when it's morning, And us two when it's night;
And us two when it's troubled, And us two when it's bright;And us two don't want nothing To make life good and true,
And lovin'-sweet, and happy, While us two's got us two.
