Explore "Song of the Future" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Tis strange that in a land so strong, / So strong and bold in mighty youth, / We have no poet's voice of truth / To sing for us a wondrous song.
Our chiefest singer yet has sung / In wild, sweet notes a passing strain, / All carelessly and sadly flung / To that dull world he thought so vain.
