Poems by Henry Lawson
The Bard of Furthest Out
... As self and elf and shelf ...
The Ballad of the Elder Son
... Their youth they steal, their hearts they break ...
The Ghost at the Second Bridge
... Shes mashed, said Jack, I do not doubt, ...
The Captains
... Where sons might grow in strength and health, with all that God would give ...
Young Kings and Old
... Till the seer on the hill cries Treason! and the witch grins out of her hole ...
Coomera
... And they tied the boat behind them while they wondered who was he ...
The Water Lily
... And she knows tis her dead babys spirit that sings: ...
Down the River
... We has our Johnny-cake an scrag, ...
Will Yer Write It Down for Me?
... Feels what they feel, loves what they love, learns to hate what they condemn, ...
Otherside
... He will speak of home and mother without shame when hes inclined, ...
'Lets Be Fools To-Night'
... Weve been wise since those days, ...
Years After the War In Australia
... And they hiss through their blackened teeth: Well stick! by the blazing flame, we will! ...
The Patriotic League
... And this they call the Peoples Cause, ...
The Boss's Boots
... Ill learn the fool, said Bogan Bill, to flash the Bosss boot! ...
My Army, O, My Army!
... Its women beat their poor, flat breasts where babes had starved to death ...
