Ramping, Raging, Rioting,
His power rends the debris of yesterday
To a mass of Tomorrow's life.
Burn! Burn!
The Monster now full-blown.
Who remembers the glorious wonder of the Mighty?
The One, upon whom all depends.
Yet before, early in his reign,
All praised this wonder.
The great, the mighty
Summer.
Devious, deceptive, grandeur.
Dry harshness, giving all
To Death.
Begone false prophet
Tremble to know the reality.
Fire! Fire! Burning bright
Glowing Growing! well alight
Rising! Rising! full alarm
Yet we find its warmth a charm
Protect! Protect us from his harm
Bush fire fighter standing there
Between us and cruel despair.
—George Conyngham
