Editor's note: A stirring breath of prophecy is in the following beautiful poem, by Harpur ; and a picturesqueness of fancy, so to speak, which is thoroughly delightful. And what nobler theme for the young poet than the grand future of Australia? - shall not all of this verse-dream, and a thousand fold more, be realised?
