Page:Backblock Ballads and Later Verses (C.J. Dennis, 1918).djvu/64

We never seen the bloke ahead!
    'Ow can they call us rash?
I jist seen 'Arry move to shove
    'Is arm around 'is mash;
I seen 'er jump to grab the wheel,
    Then, Lord ! . . . there came the smash!

Aw, they can blame an' cry their shame!
    It ain't for that I care.
I held 'er in my arms an' laughed . . . .
    Then seen 'er lyin' there,
The moonlight streamin' on 'er face,
    An' on 'er yeller hair.
