THE PIONEER
Her thoughts go back, she sees far off the years that now are done
As a hundred treasured memories go past her one by one
Her crinolines, her parasols, each dear old fashioned thing
What laughter, tears and anecdotes they one and all can bring
Their home beside the virgin bush, where busy years were spent
The slow unfolding of their farm, when Maoris came and went
Their bullock waggon through the mud, their mare, their first few sheep
That wild uncanny sound of bulls who fought when night was deep
She thinks, "Our hearts will live here after life on earth is done
The young, the strong will carry on what we have but begun
Our children and their children will mould this land of ours
Let them finish what we started, in a way beyond our powers."
Though she sits with gentle folded hands and dreams about the past
Yet awake, asleep, the young arms of her own land hold her fast.
