Edward Harrington Death Poems
- 1. Morgan
When Morgan crossed the Murray to Peechelba and doom
A sombre silent shadow rode with him through the gloom.
The wild things of the forest slunk from the outlaw's track,
The boobook croaked a warning, "Go back, go back, go back!"
... - 2. The Kerrigan Boys
By jove itâ??s hot on the track today, my flannel is soaked with sweat.
I think Iâ??ll sit in the shade a bit and wait for the sun to set.
I know of a decent camping place by the river beyond the town,
And Iâ??d rather carry my swag through there after the sun goes down.
... - 3. Lone Pine
Lone Pine! Lone Pine! Our hearts are numbly aching
For those who come no more,
Our boys who sleep the sleep that knows no waking,
Besides the Dardan-s shore.

Debra Kells: Recently I heard a poem written by Edward Harrington and it was called "Cats on the Roof", I was wondering if you could send me the words to that poem in particular please. I found myself having a good giggle at this one and would love to read it again. It is difficult to find and at this stage have not had any luck in finding it.
