Explore "The Mylora Elopement" by Andrew Barton Paterson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
By the winding Wollondilly where the weeping willows weep, / And the shepherd, with his billy, half awake and half asleep, / Folds his fleecy flocks that linger homewards in the setting sun, / Lived my hero, Jim the Ringer, "cocky" on Mylora Run.
Jimmy loved the super's daughter, Miss Amelia Jane McGrath. / Long and earnestly he sought her, but he feared her stern papa; / And Amelia loved him truly -- but the course of love, if true, / Never yet ran smooth or duly, as I think it ought to do.
