《The Australian Sunrise》歌词

[00:00:00] The Australian Sunrise - Barry Ryan

[00:00:25] The morning star paled slowly the cross hung low to the sea

[00:00:35] And down the shadowy reaches the tide came swirling free

[00:00:44] The lustrous purple blackness of the soft Australian night

[00:00:53] Waned in the gray awakening that heralded the light;

[00:01:11] Still in the dying darkness still in the forest dim

[00:01:20] The pearly dew of the dawning clung to each giant limb

[00:01:29] Till the sun came up from the ocean red with the cold sea mist

[00:01:38] And smote on the limestone ridges and the shining tree-tops kissed

[00:02:09] Then the fiery Scorpion vanished the magpie's note was heard

[00:02:18] And the wind in the she-oak wavered and the honeysuckles stirred

[00:02:29] The airy golden vapour rose from the river breast

[00:02:38] The kingfisher came darting out of his crannied nest

[00:02:47] And the bulrushes and reed-beds put off their sallow gray

[00:02:57] And burnt with cloudy crimson at dawning of the day

[00:03:13] Morning spaled slowly the cross hung low to the sea

[00:03:21] And down the shadowy reaches the tide came swirling free

[00:03:31] The lustrous purple blackness of the soft Australian night

[00:03:40] Waned in the gray awakening that heralded the light
