Explore "A Dan Yell" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I wish I'd never gone to board / In that house where I met / The touring lady from abroad, / Who mocks my nightmares yet. / I wish -- I wish that she had saved / Her news of what she'd seen -- / That Dan O'Connor is clean shaved / And parts his hair between.
The ladies down at Manly now -- / And widows understood -- / No more deplore their marriage vow / Or hopeless widowhood. / For Dan O'Connor is the same / As though he'd never been, / Since Daniel shaved that shave of shame, / And combed his hair between.
