This was a Project Gutenberg author. I noticed some slurs and imperialism/colonialism with Australian inflections that I can't entirely parse. As I'm far from certain I pegged everything. I'm putting a Here Be Dragons warning on the source material but hope to have side-stepped such things in the excerpts.
If I could bring back yesterday - Ida Lee "Bill, the Groom"
To calm his troubled dreams - Ida Lee "Bill, the Groom"
In whose limbs the parrots sleep - Ida Lee "The Bush Fire"
While trees unbent and listened - Ida Lee "The Drover's Vision"
When vespers soar through the winding stairs - Ida Lee "The Fish-Girl's Song"
Silver-like thread the tarantula weaves - Ida Lee "The Forest King's Lament"
Kingfishers dazzling the light of the sun - Ida Lee "The Forest King's Lament"
Restful pastures by the flowing creek - Ida Lee "The Homestead"
Grasp the fallen sceptre of the day - Ida Lee "The Homestead"
Feathered monarch of the lonely west - Ida Lee "The Homestead"
From caution snatched the reins - Ida Lee "The Homestead"
Sweet dreams their cobwebs spin - Ida Lee "The Homestead"
Sending sparks in feathery flashes - Ida Lee "Nature's Lessons"
On a pathway beset with jagged stone - Ida Lee "The Promise"
And creeping mists assert their sway - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
From sober black to faintest blue - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Where glow-worm shows his tiny lamp - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Amid the reeds at setting sun - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Or cast one pebble on the sand - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Falling thick in showers of hail - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Tossed aside the golden sheaf - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
Cut like steel each tiny leaf - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
To blot the sins of dawn away - Ida Lee "Suffolk"
While angry thunders make reply - Ida Lee "The Water Frog"
