C J Dennis - Corryong
Work rating: Low

The cattle-lands of Corryong,
   The maiden of the snows
(Where silver streams the winter long
Sing pleasantly their tinkling song)
   Not many a town man knows.
And here sleek cattle, deep in grass,
Watch placidly the seasons pass.

Her beauty has a wondrous worth -
   This maiden cleanly bright -
A beauty won from her rich earth
Where the great Murray has his birth,
   And gathers up his might
To scatter rich fertility
On his long journey to the sea.

Her face is laved in waters clear -
   Snow waters dashing down.
That flash, and hide, and reappear
To feed the pastures far and near
   About this lovely town -
Fair Corryong, the Cattle Queen,
Hiding her beauty here unseen.

A glory here the scene presents -
   Glory that may not die;
Where, up from these green, gleaming bents,
Great Kosciusko`s battlements
   Lift to the laughing sky.
And Corryong contentment knows -
The joyous maiden of the snows.
