[9] Australia — To His Majesty King George V.[10] Far carried o'er a world of troubled dawnings, Comes with the rising thunder of a flood.

Though majesty and might and proud dominion Be blazoned on the flag we raise above, Enwoven warp and woof within its fabric There runs, bright-hued, the silken thread of love.

King of the hearts of men in every land, Across the seas that bind, but cannot sever We proffer you our homage and our hand.
