Explore "Roll up at Talbragar" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Jack Denver died at Talbragar when Christmas Eve began, And there was sorrow round the place, for Denver was a man; Jack Denver's wife bowed down her head -- her daughter's grief was wild, And big Ben Duggan by the bed stood sobbing like a child. But big Ben Duggan saddled up, and galloped fast and far, To raise the longest funeral ever seen on Talbragar. -_Ben Duggan_.
Both funerals belonged to Big Ben Duggan in a way, though Jack Denver was indirectly the cause of both.
