Anthony Farnel Mardling
The creek went down with a broken song,’Neath the sheoaks high;
The waters carried the tune along, And the oaks a sigh.
The song and the sigh went winding by, Went winding down;
Circling the foot of the mountain high, And the hillside brown.
They were hushed in the swamp of the Dead Man’s Crime
Where the curlews cried;
But they reached the river the self-same time,
And there they died.
And the creek of life goes winding on,
Wandering by;
And bears for ever, its course upon, A song and a sigh.
