Electric Power Connected

• Esperance! With your heart-shaped
• Bay
• Port that stand alone!
• Rise you out of yesterday,
• Come into your own!
• Crowds have gathered on your strand,
• Circling seagulls screech
• Heralding through all the land
• Safe-for-children beach!
• Now the pile has driven been
• You must from your trance
• Eager, hopeful, cheerful, keen
• In your great advance!
• In the race you must not stand
• Never slack one day.
• You’ll at last your place command.
• Beauteous Esperance Bay!
• – P.A.E.
