Max's quote on door of bulldozer

Our past dams still travel with us from afar,

Tis the dams that we have made make us what we are.

Cletrac Poem by Guy Burns

(Max named his Cletrac FDE bulldozers after poets)

Crawlers grunt! Upwards haul the Britstands full;

Fourteen yards of prehistoric clay.

Pistons thump! Overwhelm Earth’s central pull;

Away with dirt and wretched rock, away!

Milton snorts and rips across the grain of slope;

Byron shapes the batter, one in three;

Saddled with a novice, Shelley snaps a wire rope:

Max’s trio poet-Cletracs, FDE.

A string-line straight horizon circles grass of Mitchell yellow,

Beneath a vacant, full-term pregnant blue;

Abandoned there, a left-hand Mack, poor broken, flaking fellow;

A testament to dust – and life anew.

Past dams still travel with them, though a blur;

Ripped and scooped black soil forms earthen banks;

Those welcome structures made them what they were:

Dirt movers, drowned in dust, sinking tanks.

From the Lanterns

Richard Magoffin poetry, bush poet

I am sitting, thinking, writing, by the bright electric lighting

At a worn and weathered table in the ancient station store,

And as I sit and ponder, my eyes, attracted, wander

Down a row of lonely lanterns from an era gone before.

As I look at them I reckon that they somehow seem to beckon,

And my mind in recollection to that bygone era rolls:

As I sit and look upon them, I see history written on them

In the cracks on gloomy glasses and the rust upon their bowls.

Through the cobwebs on their handles and the rust upon their mantles,

I can see unknown people with long forgotten names,

And the folk remembered dearly are reflected smiling clearly

In the glint of chimney glasses in those old and dusty frames.

And as sharp as this reflection, is my vivid recollection

Of the people and occasions that these hurricanes recall;

For those years now recollected are as clearly now projected

As the never-ageing shadows of the lanterns on the wall.

Bewitched, my mind meanders to those open green verandahs,

Where everyone was welcome those many years ago:

I can see the women darning and the menfolk smoking, yarning

In the mellow, soft and yellow light of lowly lantern glow.

And I see the happy greetings at the hack and picnic meetings

When the lanterns lit the dances in the crowded little halls;

And I hear the Charleston ringing and those distant voices singing

And I see the lanterns swinging on the corrugated walls.

Though I was just a nipper when these lanterns used to flicker,

They have shone tonight with visions of forgotten yesterday;

As these fancies fade asunder, in silence now I wonder:

I can see the rusty lanterns, but the people – where are they?

McIntyre’s Last Ride

McIntyre went riding – riding to the west

A horse glides through the gidya

and across the rough hill-crest

Hear the hoof beats clatter on the drought-dried down

But Cooper Creek was empty, with a bed and banks of brown.

McIntyre went riding – riding in retreat

Oh, the cool oasis

oh, the cracked earth at his feet

By the pine and sand patch where the mulgas grow

Dead horses in the desert and the camels crawling slow.

McIntyre went riding – seeking Leichhardt’s grave

Oh, the quick-gasped curses

and the prayers when bushmen rave

Riding from the Dugald, fever in his veins

Blurred and blue the ranges backed the bare and baking plains.

McIntyre went riding – riding to his death

Oh, the new-made grave mound

and the scarlet Sturt-pea wreath

Lone the grave they made him, no shorn priest to shrive

To bind the restless spirit or the roving soul to gyve.

McIntyre goes riding – wan and white he rides

Ghostwise through the gidya

wild warrigals for guides

Wraith among the ridges; Hark! the wild-dog whines

The Myall hears him gallop…

past the sand track, past the pines.

THE DEATH of LEICHARDT

MOTTO "Nature led him to her children in a space of light divine."

The winds that whisper tales of fierce, dry heat,

Of drouth and shuddering sands, and sometimes, too,

Croon monotones of ferny glades where dew

Lingers till noon, are singing.

A dirge for one whose firm adventurous feet

Trod their most secret places, and we hear

Soft sighs and sobbing plaints of grief and fear,

And forest knells a-ringing.

Half hints are there of breathless horror blent

With praiseful paeans for the hero, dead

Where nature took the son that she had bred,

Her favourite, her glory,

And lapped him round with silence; and the scent

Of summer and her droning sound, astream

Upon the air, inspire me as I dream

Upon his mist-clad story.

He went, and down behind him silent fell

The arras hiding everything or naught,

The soft, dark folds with varied pattern wrought

Of death's eternal curtain

Gleaming with smile of heaven and grin of hell;

And we of this side vainly strain our eyes,

For all that feels the pain of living, dies,

And nothing else is certain.

Now he has passed across the grassy glades

Where evermore the eagle swoops and rends,

And countless foul beasts seek their filthy ends

And pass, and leave their places

To other of their kind; and had he stayed

Perchance the world had profited, and yet

Time blinds our feeble eyes and we forget

Till virtue leaves no traces.

But, be it so or no, a few rough years

Would surely help us little, and for him –

Perhaps he may have found within the dim

Unknown a state of being

Less like a hell than ours, less full of fears,

More free of woe; but doubt is standing by

Betwixt us and the future, and we sigh

That fate forbids our seeing.

And since our little span is dark and drear

And hope's green fields are withered by a drought,

It may be that the future, stretching out

Through distance into distance,

Hath greater gloom in store for us, and here

We have a painful respite from our pain –

And so the weary round revolves again

Through limitless existence.

This thing is sure; he vanished from our sight

Body and soul, and hope spins out the rest,

One groping faith sobs; "All is for the best!"

But wherefore should we smother

Our ignorance with glozing dreams? The night

Of death drew down, he came and he has gone,

And we can only waste a sigh upon

The memory of a brother.

Mr J LeGay Brereton 1897

Ye who prepare with pilgrim feet

Your long and doubtful path to wend

If, whitening on the waste, ye meet

The relics of my murder’d friend;

His bones with rev’rence ye shall bear

To where some mountain streamlet flows

Then, by its mossy bank, prepare

The pillow of his long repose.

It shall be by a stream whose tides

Are drunk by birds of ev’ry wing

Where ev’ry lovelier flower abides

The earliest wak’ning touch of spring.

Oh meet that he (who so carest

All-beauteous Nature’s varied charms)

That he, her martyr’d son, should rest

Within his mother’s fondest arms.

When ye have made his narrow bed

And laid the good man’s ashes there

Ye shall kneel down around the dead

And wait upon your God in prayer.

What though no reverend man be near

No anthem pour its solemn breath

No holy walls invest his bier

With all the hallow’d pomp of death.

Yet humble minds shall find the grace,

Devoutly bow’d upon the sod,

To call that blessing round the place

Which consecrates the soil to God.

And ye the wilderness shall tell

How, faithful to the hopes of men,

The Mighty Power he served so well,

Shall breathe upon the bones again.

When ye your gracious task have done,

H eap not the rock above his dust,

The angel of the Lord alone

Shall guard the ashes of the just.

But ye shall heed, with pious care,

The mem’ry of that spot to keep;

And note the marks that guide me where

My virtuous friend is laid to sleep.

For oh, bethink, in other times,

(And be those happier times at hand)

When science, like the smile of God,

Comes bright’ning o’er that weary land.

How will her pilgrims hail the power

Beneath the dropping myall’s gloom

To sit at eve and mourn an hour

And pluck a leaf on Leichhardt’s tomb.

Robert Lynd

Just as after hopeless pining,

Partings long and bitter pain,

Children, eyes with tears a-shining,

Creep to mother’s heart again.

Such the fugitive is brought by song,

From places far and customs queer,

Back to happiness missed so long,

To his happy childhood’s sphere.

Friedrick Schiller
