C J Dennis - A New Year`s Toast
Work rating: Low

Here`s to every Aussie fellow,
Who refused to show the yellow
When depression`s clammy hand
Cast its shadow o`er the land.

Here`s to them who never altered
When the timid feared and faltered,
But with dogged confidence
Backed their nation`s sound good sense.

Here`s to them who, ne`er reviling,
Took the knock and came up smiling -
Battlers with their steadfast gaze
Fixed ahead on better days.

Aussie cobbers, strong thro` striving,
Chastened by ill-luck are thriving;
Now that better days are near
Here`s a prosperous New Year!
