I've heard them singing, heard the joy bells ringing
Young women singing at clear light of day
Now they are weeping, embracing and lamenting
The Flower of Australia is stolen away

I've seen him smiling, the lasses' hearts beguiling
Laughing and smiling at work and at play
Now he is taken, dishonoured and forsaken
The Flower of Australia is stolen away

I've felt him near me, imagined he could hear me
Felt him beside me, his eyes wise and grey
How can he reach me, embolden me and teach me?
The Flower of Australia is stolen away

I've seen them dancing, rejoicing and romancing
Dreaming a new world, young women and men
But long may his mother look o'er the Western Ocean
Before she sees her own son return home again
