And Anzac now is an enchanted shore;
A tragic splendor, and a holy name;
A deed eternity will still acclaim;
A loss that crowns the victories of yore;
A glittering golden dome for evermore
Shining above the minarets of fame.

More quotes by Bartlett Adamson

She trips along the street, a flashing wonder,
Dazzling enigma! Courtesan or maid?
Temple of chastity, or hall of trade?
An angel-presence, or a soul of plunder
Casting the doors of sanctitude asunder?
A beauteousness, by love and laughter swayed,
Or death in immemorial masquerade?
A dainty dawn-song, or a snarl of thunder?
