'Keep white the strain!" br Oh! brothers mine, in bitter shame br Australia kneels and makes the prayer; br Wrench out the loathsome lusts and swear br To be men worthy of the name; br To hold your manhood with such price, br Such love of lineage and race, br That, when the nations give her place, br She shall go forth all purified. br br "Keep white the strain!" br Oh, maiden of the sunny south br Slim maiden, trim and typical br Let not forbidden kisses fall br Upon thy sweet love-drenched mouth; br But rather teach the alien earth, br The Island and the Asian horde, br Thy body, by thine own accord, br Shall bear true witness of thy birth.
