After Guardian’s Brumby's Run by Banjo Paterson

 



After  Guardian’s  Brumby's Run by Banjo Paterson

 

 

         They are  a special lot,

         reared by their kind special  master,

         run  high, jumping far  beyond rules,

         straight and high reaching mounds

         and  fields, races of course no need

         to mention, hoofs resounding

        a rhythm unique to the listener

        all times, irrespective of  his tension.

 

       The green and lawn

       Soft  and lushful ,

       Unmindful of sickle  and  sieve,

        accommodative  and supple

        never mind the  pain

       of hoofs and plods

       for that is the  nature

        of Nature’ s  vast and wide.

 

         Ride is pleasure and fun,

         Run is pain and ruin,

        The  stock love to return

         Owner proud to retain.
