The Wattle [No better Right Than I]

I saw it in the days gone by,

When the dead girl lay at rest,

And the wattle and the native rose We placed upon her breast.

I saw it in the long ago (And I've seen strong men die),

And who, to wear the wattle,

Hath better right than I?

I've fought it through the world since then,

And seen the best and worst,

But always in the lands of men I held Australia first.

I wrote for her,

I fought for her,

And when at last I lie,

Then who, to wear the wattle, has A better right than I?
