Henry Lawson (Генри Лоусон)

Send Round the Hat

Now this is the creed from the Book of the Bush – 
Should be simple and plain to a dunce: 
”If a man’s in a hole you must pass round the hat – 
Were he jail-bird or gentleman once.”

Henry Lawson’s other poems:

1. The Free-Selector’s Daughter
2. Wide Spaces
3. The City Bushman
4. The Sliprails and the Spur
5. Since Then
