Eau-Forte (F. S. Flint) by Frank Stuart Flint
A stale cream moon hangs over black bare trees and unborn buds, while two exhausted old horses pull a tram through a dark square filled with damp smoke and rank mist. Around the bend, six bullocks approach, driven by a hobbling, dirt-grimed drover toward death and shame.

First lines
On black bare trees a stale cream moon / hangs dead, and sours the unborn buds.
Two gaunt old hacks, knees bent, heads low, / tug, tired and spent, an old horse tram.
Damp smoke, rank mist fill the dark square; / and round the bend six bullocks come.
A hobbling, dirt-grimed drover guides / their clattering feet to death and shame.
