Different versions of the same poem[edit]
I've come across two different versions of this poem, with I think only one difference between them, in the first line. The first (the one here) goes:
They lie, the men who tell us in a loud decisive tone
While the other one I've seen goes:
They lie, the men who tell us for reasons of their own
I'm not sure why there are two different versions and I can't seem to find either the original source (The Bulletin) or a some explanation for the change (if it was Henry Lawson's change).
