One (Jw)
One day by Dunstan River I'll sit again
You and I to dream
Far away from the old fields of pain
Bathing naked in her stream
One night in the guinea grass we will lay
And whisper to the moon
And kiss while doves sing far away
A happy lovers tune
One week, one month, one year to come
By the Black River flowing
We will dance like children to the village drum
For the joy that we are knowing
One life to live is all we have, and it passes fast
Away. O love, my love do not delay
My will to live by thy slow destiny is cast
Like thoughts between the river and the bay
One love I claim, one you, one beauty sought
One purpose from the king of heaven
One dream upon my heart is wrought
One prize for which the soul has striven
One day by Dunstan River we will sit again
You and I, after the abeng blows
The wind will sing us its sweet refrain
While cool the Dunstan River flows
