Henry Lawson

The Country Girl

The Country Girl reflects at last—
And well in her young days—
For she is learning very fast,
The worth of City ways.
The emptiness of Tailors men
The women’s paltry strife
The Sham of 'Smart Society’
Compared with Country Life.
 
The novelty wore off at length,
And flattered at the Ball,
She things of one who has the strength
And brains above them all.
She things of men who Live and Work
For sweetheart and for wife.
And though it be as far as Bourke,
Are true to Country Life
