Brighten's Sister-In-Law or, The Carrier's Story

Henry Lawson

Brother, You'll Take My Hand

Henry Lawson

Leading a quiet life,

How The Land Was Won

Henry Lawson

I'll Tell You What You Wanderers

Henry Lawson

In Possum Land

Striving wealth to raise,

Lily

Henry Lawson
I scorn the man, a fool at most,
And ignorant and blind,
Who loves to go about and boast

Or a diamond rather the heart of a girl;...
