Bush Ballads and Galloping Rhymes is a collection of poems by Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon. The book is a classic example of Australian bush poetry and includes some of Gordon's most famous works such as The Sick Stockrider and The Swimmer. The poems are written in a colloquial style and offer a vivid portrayal of life in the Australian bush during the 19th century. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section featuring ballads about horse racing, hunting, and other outdoor pursuits, while the second section features more personal poems about love, loss, and the struggles of life. Overall, Bush Ballads and Galloping Rhymes is a must-read for anyone interested in Australian literature, history, or culture.With Short, Sharp, Violent Lights Made Vivid, To Southward Far As The Sight Can Roam, Only The Swirl Of The Surges Livid, The Seas That Climb And The Surfs That Comb. Only The Crag And The Cliff To Nor'ward, And The Rocks Receding, And Reefs Flung Forward, And Waifs Wreck'd Seaward And Wasted Shoreward On Shallows Sheeted With Flaming Foam.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
