Little pink Boronia,
In your gingham gown,
Mid the silken poppies
On a florist's stall in town.
Never droop your head ashamed;
Fairer far than they
Are you in your native home
Of the sandstone grey.
Would they leave your loveliness
Where it aye belongs,
Dancing to the gay wind's kiss
And the free birds' songs.
