VERSES
ENGLAND YET! She’s England yet I The nations never knew her; Or, if they knew, were ready to forget. She made new worlds that paid no homage to her Because she called for none as for a debt. The bullying power that deemed all nations craven, And thought her star of destiny had set, Was sure that she would seek a coward’s haven — ' And tempted her, and found her England yeti She’s England yet, with little to regret— Ay more than ever. She’ll be England yet I
—Henry Lawson, Australian poet (1917).
