Excerpt from The Romance of Runnibede Seeing their faces stealing, stealing, Hearing their laughter pealing, pealing, Watching their grey forms wheeling, wheeling, Round Where the cattle lie. Drovers used to say that in the Weird wailings of the curlew and the plover they could discern the voices of the lonely dead souls of the bushland. I remember them telling this to father, one morning at the store, While getting a supply of rations from him.
