Clancy of the overflow
1.
Australian Bush
Poet “Clancy of The Overflow”
2.
I had written
him a letter which I had, for want of better
3.
Knowledge, sent to
where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago,
4.
He was shearing
when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him,
5.
Just `on spec',
addressed as follows, `Clancy, of The Overflow'.
6.
And an answer
came directed in a writing unexpected,
7.
(And I think
the same was written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar)
8.
'Twas his shearing
mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it:
9.
`Clancy's gone to
Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are.'
10.
In my wild
erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy
11.
Gone a-droving `down
the Cooper' where the Western drovers go;
12.
As the stock
are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing
13.
For the drover's
life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.
14.
And the bush
hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him
15.
In the murmur
of the breezes and the river on its bars,
16.
And he sees
the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
17.
And at night
the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars.
18.
I am sitting
in my dingy little office, where a stingy
19.
Ray of sunlight
struggles feebly down between the houses tall,
20.
And the foetid
air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city
21.
Through the open
window floating, spreads its foulness over all
22.
And in place
of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle
23.
Of the tramways
and the 'buses making hurry down the street,
24.
And the language
uninviting of the gutter children fighting,
25.
Comes fitfully and
faintly through the ceaseless tramp of feet.
26.
And the hurrying
people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me
27.
As they shoulder
one another in their rush and nervous haste,
28.
With their eager
eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy,
29.
For townsfolk have
no time to grow, they have no time to waste.
30.
And I somehow
rather fancy that I'd like to change with Clancy,
31.
Like to take
a turn at droving where the seasons come and go,
32.
While he faced
the round eternal of the cash-book and the journal --
33.
But I doubt
he'd suit the office, Clancy, of `The Overflow'.
