'Al GASCOYNE BEEB DREAM.
There'll be shouting on the river.
There'll bc joy from cud to end,
There'll be well-fed swagmen camping
In each sandy river bend. :
Then we'll all be sleek and happy,
Put on "dog," and pay our way,
t -On the skins that we will garner
When the rabbits come to stay.
in the juice shops of Carnarvon
There'll be bushmen in a row.
Drinking lasting ruination
To the squatting Ikey Mo ;
There'll be joy among the carters,
; When they pile their groaning dray
With the furry skins of bunny,
When the rabbits come tb slay. ?
There'll be joy among the niggers.
They'll corroboree and play,
.On, the shillings that their women .
Coax the rabbiter to pay ;
, Then every hungry squattage
' And every sandy run, '
IV Ul disgorge its wageless nigger,
In the. happy 'tinies-to come.
?There'll fae joy among the fencers,
From: Carnarvon to Peak Hill,
And the local wipe will prosper
On its advertising bill :
All the. stores and peltry agents will «
Join' in the joyous fray,
When the squatter sheds the shekels,
And the rabbits come to stay.
They arc veeping at the horaesteads,
They are wailing night and day,
Of the .ruin. that is coming,
And the sums they'll have to pay :
. And .their curses fire the pasture,
'When they hear thc bushman pray,
Hew'long (0, Lord) how lonrj before
The rabbits-come this-wa;-.
