The rattling ‘donkey’ ceases, <br />The bell says we must part, <br />You long slab of good-nature, <br />And poetry and art! <br /> <br />We’ll miss your smile in Sydney, <br />We’ll miss your care-free air; <br />Where care-free airs are needed <br />And grins are growing rare, <br /> <br />Good Health! Good pay! Good liquor, <br />And good pals, night and day, <br />Good morning and good evening – <br />God bless you, Hugh McCrae!<br /><br />Henry Lawson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-ashore/
