Summary

Portrait of Thomas Henry Kendall Thomas Henry Kendall The Poems of Henry Kendall — The Last of His Tribe (1920)

The wallaroos grope through the tufts of the grass,
⁠And turn to their coverts for fear;
But he sits in the ashes and lets them pass
⁠Where the boomerangs sleep with the spear—
⁠With the nullah, the sling and the spear.
Uloola, behold him! The thunder that breaks
⁠On the tops of the rocks with the rain,
And the wind which drives up with the salt of the lakes,
⁠Have made him a hunter again—
⁠A hunter and fisher again.
