Henry Lawson,
In the Days When the World Was Wide
(1894)
“ At Eureka Stockade in the Roaring Days with the days when the world was wide? We fight like women, and feel as much; the thoughts of our hearts we guard; Where scarcely the scorn of a god could touch, the sneer of a sneak hits hard; The treacherous tongue and cowardly pen, the weapons of curs, decide — They faced each other and fought like men in the days when the world was wide. ”
