The River Crossing
"Oh! the quiet river-crossing where we twain were wont to ride where the wanton winds were to sing
willow braches o'er the tide.
There the golden noon would find us dallying through the summer day all the weary world behind us all it's tumult far away
Oh! thoe rides across the crossing where the shallow stream runs wide when the sunset's beams were glossing strips of sand on either side
We would cross the sparkling river on a brown horse and a bay watch the willows sway and shiver, and their trembling shadows play
When the last sunlight's glory faded off the sandy bars there we learnt the old old story riding homeward 'neat the stars.
Tis a memory to be horded oh a foolish tale and fond,
Till another stream be forded, and we reach the great beyond."
Harry "Breaker" Morant".
