Warm summer sun shine kindly here Warm southern wind blow softly here Green sod above lie light, lie light Good night, dear heart, good night, good night. |
| These lines at first were generally attributed to Samuel Clemens. When this was reported to him he ordered the name of the Australian poet, Robert Richardson, cut beneath them. The word "southern" in the original read "northern," as in Australia. the warm wind is from the north. Richardson died in England in 1901. |
