25.01.2022 Tuesdays Tribute Flag of the Southern Cross - Henry Lawson, 1887 Sons of Australia, be loyal and true to her ... Flying out the flag of the Southern Cross! Sing a loud song to be joyous and new to her Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Staind with the blood of the diggers who died by it, Fling out the flag to the front, and abide by it Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! See how the toadies of Austral throw dust oer her Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! We who are holding her honour in trust for her Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! See how the yellow-men next to her lust for her, Sooner or later to battle we must for her Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross. Beg not of England the right to preserve ourselves, Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross, We are the servants best able to serve ourselves, Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross. What are our hearts for, and what are our hands for? What are we nourished in these southern lands for? Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross. Shall we in fear of the Dragon or Bruin now Keep back the flag of the Southern Cross? Better to die on a field of red ruin now, Under the flag of the Southern Cross. Let us stand out like the gallant Eureka men Give not our country the sorrow to seek her men Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! See how the loyal are storing up shame for us Under the light of the Southern Cross. Never! Oh! never be coward a name for us Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Englands red flag will bring hatred and worse to it, Murder and rapine hath brought a black curse to it; Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Have we not breasts for the bullets of thunderers? Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Have we not steel for the bosoms of plunderers? Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Prove ourselves worthy the land we inherit now, Feed till it blazes the National spirit now! Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Let us be bold, be it daylight or night for us Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Let us be firm with our God and our right for us, Under the flag of the Southern Cross! Austral is fair, and the idlers in strife for her Plunder her, sneer at her, suck the young life from her! Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Fling out the flag to the front, and abide by it Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Stand by the blood of the diggers who died by it Fling out the flag of the Southern Cross! Fling out the flag to the front, and be brave for it. Liberty! Light! or a battle-field grave for it! Bonny bright flag of the Southern Cross! Flag of the Southern Cross refers to the Eureka flag flown at the Eureka built rebellion in Ballarat, Victoria in 1854. The victory song of the Australian cricket team Under the Southern Cross I stand is said to have been inspired by this poem. - Source : Wikipedia

21.01.2022 Tuesday Tribute The Legend of Cooee Gully Henry Lawson, 1887... The night came down thro' Deadman's Gap, Where the ghostly saplings bent Before a wind that tore the fly From many a digger's tent. Dark as pitch, and the rain rushed past On a wind that howled again; And we crowded into the only but That stood on the hillside then. The strong pine rafters creaked and strained, 'Til we thought that the roof would go; And we felt the box-bark walls bend in And bulge like calico. A flood had come from the gorges round: Thro' the gully's bed it poured. Down many a deep, deserted shaft The yellow waters roared. The scene leapt out when the lightning flashed And shone with a ghastly grey; And the night sprang back to the distant range 'Neath a sky as bright as day. Then the darkness closed like a trap that was sprung, And the night grew black as coals, And we heard the ceaseless thunder Of the water down the holes. And now and then like a cannon's note That sounds in the battle din, We heard the louder thunder spring From a shaft, when the sides fell in. We had gathered close to the broad but fire To yarn of the by-gone years, When a coo-ee that came from the flooded grounds Fell sharp on our startled ears. We sprang to our feet, for well we knew That in speed lay the only hope; One caught and over his shoulder threw A coil of yellow rope. Then, blinded oft by the lightning's flash, Down the steep hillside we sped, And at times we slipped on the sodden path That ran to the gully's bed. And on past many a broken shaft All reckless of risk we ran, For the wind still brought in spiteful gusts The cry of the drowning man. But the cooeying ceased when we reached the place; And then, ere a man could think, We heard the treacherous earth give way And fall from a shaft's black brink. And deep and wide the rotten side Slipped into the hungry hole, And the phosphorus leapt and vanished Like the flight of the stranger's soul. And still in the sound of the rushing rain, When the night comes dark and drear, From the pitch-black side of that gully wide The coo-ee you'll hear and hear. Coo-ee coo-e-e-e, low and eerily, It whispers afar and drear And then to the heart like an icy dart It strikes thro' the startled ear! Dreader than wrung from the human tongue It shrieks o'er the sound of the rain, And back on the hill when the wind is still It whispers and dies again. And on thro' the night like the voice of a sprite That tells of a dire mishap It echoes around in the gully's bound And out thro' Deadman's Gap.

10.01.2022 Tuesday Tributes The Hymn of the Socialists Henry Lawson, 1887... By the bodies and minds and souls that rot in a common stye In the citys offal-holes, where the dregs of its horrors lie By the prayers that bubble out, but never ascend to God, We swear the tyrants of earth to rout, with tongue and with pen and sword! By the child that sees the light, where the pestilent air stagnates, By the woman, worn and white, who under the street-lamp waits, By the horror of vice that thrives in the dens of the wretched poor, We swear to strike when the time arrives, for all that is good and pure! By the rights that were always ours the rights that we neer enjoyed, And the gloomy cloud that lowers on the brow of the unemployed; By the struggling mothers and wives by girls in the streets of sin We swear to strike when the time arrives, for our kind and our kith and kin! By our burning hate for men who rob us of ours by might, And drive to the slum and den, the poor from the sun and light, By the hell-born greed that drives our sons oer the world to roam, We swear to strike when the time arrives, and strike for our friends and home. By the little of manhood left in a world of want and sin, By the rift in the dark clouds brow where the light still struggles in, By the love that scarce survives in a stream that is sluggish and thin, We swear to work till the time arrives for ourselves and our kind and kin. The little of love may dry in its stream that scarcely flows, The little of manhood die and the rift in the dark clouds close, And hope may vanish from earth and all that is pure and bright, But we swear to strike eer that time has birth with the whole of our gathered might!

06.01.2022 LEST WE FORGET For the Fallen - Laurence Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,... England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond Englands foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. LEST WE FORGET

06.01.2022 Tuesday Tributes Henry Lawson - 1887 Only A Sod... Its only a sod, but twill break me ould heart Nigh hardened wid toilin and carin, And make the ould wounds in it tingle and smart. Its only a sod, but its parcel and part Of strugglin, sufferin Erin. Its only a sod, but it rakes the ould pain The ould love in me heart that still lingers, That Time has been soothing and docthring in vain; And now he must soothe it and heal it again Wid his kindly and gentle ould fingers. Its only a sod, but I see a big ship Through the gallopin waters come tearin, And a lass that looks back on the horizon dip, Wid eyes full of tears and a thrimblin lip, On the last that she saw of ould Erin. Its only a sod, but wid care it will keep Till me brooms and me brushes are silint Put it into me arms ere they bury me deep, And tell them old Biddy the slavey does sleep Neath a sod from the bogs of ould Irlint.

05.01.2022 Tuesday Tributes Golden Gully - Henry Lawson, 1887 No one lives in Golden Gully, for its golden days are oer, ... And its clay shall never sully blucher-boots of diggers more, For the diggers long have vanished nought but broken shafts remain, And the bush, by diggers banished, fast reclaims its own again. Now, when dying Daylight slowly draws her fingers from the "Peak", The Weird Empress Melancholy rises from the reedy creek In the gap above the gully, while the dismal curlews scream Loud to welcome her as ruler of the dreary night supreme Takes her throne, and by her presence fills the strange, uncertain air With a ghostly phosphorescence of the horrors hidden there. None would think, by camp-fire blazy, lighting fitfully the scene, In the seasons that are hazy, how in seasons gone between, Diggers yarned or joined in jolly ballads of the field and foam, Or grew sad and melancholy over songs like "Home, Sweet Home" Songs of other times, demanding sullen tears that would not start, Every digger understanding what was in his comrades heart. It may seem to you a riddle how a poets fancies roam, But methinks I hear a fiddle softly playing "Home, Sweet Home" Mid the trees, while meditative diggers round the camp-fire stand. (Those were days before Australians learned to love their native land.) Now the dismal curlew screeches round the shafts when night winds sough; Startling murmurs, broken speeches, shake each twisted, tangled bough, And wheneer the night comes dreary, darkened by the falling rain, Voices, loud and dread and eerie, come again and come again Come like troubled souls forbidden rest until their tales are told Tales of deeds of darkness hidden in the whirl of days of gold Come like troubled spirits telling tales of dire and dread mishaps, Kissing, falling, rising, swelling, dying in the dismal gaps. When the coming daylight slowly lays her fingers on the "Peak" Then the Empress Melancholy hurries off to swamps that reek. But the scene is never cheery, be it sunshine, be it rain, For the Gully keeps its dreary look till darkness comes again. As you stand beside the broken shafts, where grass is growing thick, You can almost hear a spoken word, or hear a thudding pick; And your very soul seems sinking, foetid grows the morning air, For you cannot help believing that theres something buried there. Theres a ring amid the saplings by a travelling circus worn, That amused the noisy diggers eer the rising race was born; Theres a road where scrub encroaches that was once the main highway, Over which two rival coaches dashed in glory twice a day; Gone all gone from Golden Gully, for its golden days are oer, And its clay shall never sully wheels of crowded coaches more.

03.01.2022 Tuesday Tributes Statue of Robert Burns Henry Lawson, 1887... To a town in Southern land Light of purse I come and lone; And I pause awhile, and stand By a pedestal of stone; And I bend my head and bow While my heart to Scotland turns, For I know Im standing now Neath the form of Robbie Burns. Round the corners of the lips Lines of laughter seem to run; From the merry eye there slips Just a twinkle as of fun. Living in the sculptors art, Set in stone, mine eye discerns All the beauty, and a part Of the soul, of Robert Burns. One of Caledonias sons, Coming lonely to the land. Well might think hed met a friend Who would take him by the hand, And the tears spring to his eyes, While his heart for friendship yearns; And from out that heart he cries, "Heaven bless ye, Bobbie Burns. "Unto me, as unto you, Has a hard world done ill turns; And the sorrows that you knew I am learning Bobbie Burns. But Ill keep my heart above Until, after many moons, I return to friends I love, And to banks like bonnie Doons."
