As to the one I 'in singing, It 's pretty well known to all ; We knew too much, but not quite enough, And so we went to the wall ; While those who cared not if the work was done How dirty their hands might be, Went up on our shoulders and kicked us down, When they got to the top of the tree. A VOICE FROM THE BUSH 137 But out there on the station among the lads, I get on pretty well ; It 's only when I get down into town That I feel this life such a hell. Booted and bearded and burned to a brick..., I loaf along the street ; I watch the ladies tripping by, And I bless their dainty feet. I watch them here and there, With a bitter feeling of pain ; Ah ! what wouldn't I give to feel A lady's hand again ! They used to be glad to see me once, They might have been to-day ; But we never know the worth of a thing Until we have thrown it away. I watch them but from afar, And I pull my old cap over my eyes Partly to hide the tears that, rude and Rough as I am, will rise And partly because I cannot bear That such as they should see The man that I am, when I know Though they don't the man that I ought to be.
