A sequel to [Mowbray Morris's] 'A Voice from the Bush'
I thought, in the days of the droving, / Of steps I might hope to retrace, / To be done with the bush and the roving / And settle once more in my place. / With a heart that was well nigh to breaking, / In the long, lonely rides on the plain, / I thought of the pleasure of taking / The hand of a lady again.
