'Welcome, 'Courier-Mail' 1"
?
Two noble streams have merged In one
to-day.
Pull-ied, to take a splendid, onward way. And nought shall stem the progress of
that tide
Through the lean years and fat years
rich In pride.
Go forth, proud journal, Queensland erics
"godspeed."
Speak with clear voice; to walting hearts
give heed!
Go forth to the prosperity that waits,
Though shadowed yet-at our young
country's gates!
Speak for your generation, clear and
strong. '
Swift for the right-keen sword to smite
the wrong!
No puny task is yours, be strong to dare I The pregnant futuro thrills with promise
rare!
From the dim past ye served, come
muffled cheers
(Long, silent voices of the pioneers II
And peering through the dawning
shadows pale
The future's spirit children bid you
"Hall." 1
