Explore "The Bonny Port of Sydney" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THE LOVELY Port of Sydney / Lies laughing to the sky, / The bonny Port of Sydney, / Where the ships of nations lie. / You shall never see such beauty, / Though you sail the wide world o'er, / As the sunny Port of Sydney, / As we see it from the Shore.
The shades of night are falling / On many ports of call, / But the harbour lights of Sydney / Are the grandest of them all; / Such a city set in jewels / Has ne'er been seen before / As the harbour lights of Sydney / As we see them from the Shore.
I must sail for gloomy London, / Where there are no harbour lights, / Where no sun is seen in winter, / And there are no starry nights; / And the bonny port of Sydney -- / I may never see it more, / But I'll always dream about it / As we view it from North Shore.
