Harry 'breaker' Harbord Morant Time Poems

• 1. Since The Country Carried Sheep
  We trucked the cows to Homebush, saw the girls, and started back,
  Went West through Cunnamulla, and got to the Eulo track.
  Camped a while at Gonybibil - but, Lord! you wouldn't know
  It for the place where you and Mick were stockmen long ago.
  ...
• 2. The Devoutly Thankful Lover
  So Nell was married yesterday! -
  Let's fill a bumper mellow,
  And drain it to old Hymen's sway -
  And to the lucky fellow.
  ...
• 3. While Yet We May
  Ancient, wrinkled dames and jealous -
  They whom joyless Age downcasts -
  And the sere, gray-bearded fellows
  Who would fain re-live their pasts -

• 4. Too Much Light

  A snug resort where fellows dined 'not wisely, but too well';
  The boarders all had gone to bed, and other men departed,

  And all too swift our years have flown.
  The days are different now to then -
  In that time when we rode ten stone.
  ...
• 6. Westward Ho!
  There's a damper in the ashes, tea and sugar in the bags,
  There's whips of feed and shelter on the sandridge for the nags,
  There's gidya wood about us and water close at hand,
  And just one bottle left yet of the good Glenlivet brand.
  ...
• 7. Short Shrift
  I can mind him at the start -
  Easy seat and merry heart!
  Said he, as he threw a glance
  At the crawling ambulance:
  ...
• 8. His Masterpiece
  Never before was daughter of Eve endow'd with a face so fair,
  There be none of God's holy angels with a beauty half so rare
  As thine, nor dreamer has ever dreamed the loveliness you wear.
  There's a gleam in your golden tress, Lieb! a light in your melting eye!
  ...
• 9. Butchered To Make A Dutchman's Holiday
  In prison cell I sadly sit,
  A d__d crest-fallen chappie!
  And own to you I feel a bit-
  A little bit - unhappy!
