[Three children outside cottage, mother sending them off]

Verse 2: Keep close to the tracks and the bushed, ye ken Don't wander away fra the plain, If once ye get 'wildered, and lost in the bush, Ye may never see mother again. Away went the children with merry good-bye, And light-hearted frolic, from home, Away, by the track they had travelled before, To the banks of the evergreen broom.
