Australia in Luce by Dora Wilcox
We spent today at the Old and New Parliament houses in Canberra, Australia. I was looking for a song to sing related to these places and found this beautiful poem written by Dora Wilcox in 1927.:

Dora, a New Zealander like myself, won the competition for a poem to commemorate the opening of the First Parliament House in Canberra. Dora would have been 54 at the time of writing:

Prior to today, I had never heard of her poetry.
It is very surreal to walk the halls of power as they were up until 1988, and the Museum has preserved so much of the building and the artefacts that relate to its operation (@museumofaustraliandemocracy):
