(N. S. W. CONTINGENT)
Smells are surer than sounds or sights / To make your heart-strings crack -- / They start those awful voices o' nights / That whisper, ‘Old man, come back. ' / That must be why the big things pass / And the little things remain, / Like the smell of the wattle by Lichtenberg, / Riding in, in the rain.
