Analysis of Weekend At Mt. Dandenong
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
Frolic mountain winds
Innocent and shy,
Kiss my darling's cheek
As they scurry by.
Little fragrant leaves
With the dawn astir,
Make a million songs
Full of love for her.
Will she wake or sleep
These two nights she'll spend
Up the mountain-side,
My dear truant friend?
