Man from Snowy River
Valley whispers dance,
Rivers chant old freeze.
Lived a bold man,
Echoes sang through him.
Steed, shadow swift,
Leapt through ancient land.
Each hoofbeat, a story,
Bond unbroken by world.
Amidst gums, southern skies,
Spirits roamed free, past.
Hush of dawn, twilight's shiver,
Soul of Snowy River.
Eyes, wild fire,
Journeys untamed, undefiled.
Mists and storms, path wove,
Mountain echoes rove.
Stars blanket night,
Time bids snow goodbye.
In highland heart,
Lives the Snowy River legend.
