Explore "Macleay Street and Red Rock Lane" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Macleay Street looks to Mosman, / Across the other side, / With brave asphalted pavements / And roadway clean and wide. / Macleay Street hath its mansions, / Its grounds and greenery; / Macleay Street hath its terraces / As terraces should be.
Red Rock Lane looks to nowhere, / With pockets into hell; / Red Rock Lane is a horror / Of heat and dirt and smell. / Red Rock Lane hath its brothels, / Of houses one in three; / Red Rock Lane hath its corner pubs / As fourth-rate pubs should be.
