| Where crows had nests of old | B |
| I see the Range where day goes down | A |
| The dim blue in the gold | B |
| And sometimes wonder half in doubt | C |
| Has there been so much change | D |
| As pictured in the prints about | C |
| The Bush beyond the Range | D |
| - | |
| There s motor car and all the frills | E |
| But none of my old mates | F |
| The Bush seems run by Buff lo Bills | E |
| And Hayseeds from the States | F |
| I miss the homesteads and the scrub | G |
| The stock and fences too | H |
| The horse and swagmen and the pub | G |
| That Minns and Mahoney drew | H |
| - | |
| I miss the drivers diggers sheep | I |
| And lots of things Ah well | J |
| I wonder if the Kellys keep | I |
| The Carrier s Camp Hotel | J |
| If that still stands by hill and plain | K |
| As old man Kelly s pride | L |
| Or if he did pull round again | M |
| When Mary Kelly died | L |

| I wonder if the farms we had | V |

| A fence by Harry Dare or Dad | V |
| Would last it anyhow | W |
| I wonder if the cemet ry | U |
| Fenced in by Dad and Dare | U |
| Is lonely as it used to be | X |
| When they were buried there | U |
| - | |
| I wonder and the more it seems | Y |
| So far away and strange | D |
| For I have lost except in dreams | Y |
| The Bush beyond the Range | D |
| I wonder too in fear and shame | Z |
| Do they like me forget | R |
| I wonder if they mind the name | Z |
| Of Henry Lawson yet | R |
