VERNEY LOVETT CAMERON.
Great Traveller, whose firm and fearless will
Bore thee across a continent of shade,
From peril unto peril safe, and made
Like one man's heart the heart of Europe thrill!
Bore thee across a continent of shade,
From peril unto peril safe, and made
Like one man's heart the heart of Europe thrill!

Thy sword was kindness, and thou didst not wade
To glory through a sea of blood and ill;
And so thy honoured name will never fade,
It is thy country's pride and shall be still.
To glory through a sea of blood and ill;
And so thy honoured name will never fade,
It is thy country's pride and shall be still.
Go on and conquer yet, in thy grand course,
With patient faith and not by fraud or force,
New worlds for Truth from superstition's rod;
With patient faith and not by fraud or force,
New worlds for Truth from superstition's rod;
Go, where explorers' feet have never trod,
Track out the stream of knowledge to its source,
And carry with thee love of man and God.
Track out the stream of knowledge to its source,
And carry with thee love of man and God.
