Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked in!

By solemnly sneezing, the coming of rain!

And, saved from wreck on raging seas,
They fell upon their knees, and then
Upon the Aborigines.

If Friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;
If Stranger, such no longer be;
If Foe, our love shall conquer thee.

And the welkin splits apart when he hits an upper note.
