Explore "The March" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In early, prehistoric days, before the reign of Man, / When neolithic Nature fashioned things upon a plan / That was large as it was rugged, and, in truth, a trifle crude, / There arose a dusky human who was positively rude.
Now, this was in the days when lived the monster kangaroo; / When the mammoth bunyip gambolled in the hills of Beetaloo; / They'd owned the land for centuries, and reckoned it their own; / For might was right, and such a thing as "law" was quite unknown.
