had you known would you sigh, would you weep?
Aye, perchance, but the secret for ever I'll keep, And you never will know it, for you were asleep As you lay in your chair in the garden.
34 BUSH BALLADS.
BUSH MEMORIES.
I.
RIDDEN a bit ! I should think I had, Just look at the red scars here, Them's made by the stirrup irons, sir, In the course o' forty year ! I'm gettin' old, and I'm feeble now, And I ain't much use I know, But there was a time don't mind me, sir, I'm talkin' of long ago.
II.
I wa...s younger then, and my beard as black As an old crow's wing they say, But there ain't much left to brag of now And what there is, is grey ; My eye was as bright as a tracker's then, And there wasn't a man, I know (Can you see my pipe ? Oh, thank'ee, sir !
Ain't the sun gettin' very low ?) BUSH MEMORIES. 35 III.
No doubt it was a bit lonely at times And life hadn't got much change, But you'd not much time for thinkin', sir, When out on the mountain range, With the cattle thunderin' on ahead And your life's blood all aglow, As you dodged a branch, and rode like hell, In that dear old long ago.
