Analysis and comments on The Ballad Of The Drover by Henry Lawson

Comment 3 of 3, added on August 8th, 2006 at 9:33 AM.

This poem makes you realise how hard a drovers life really is. The loneliness on the long treks and the family he has left behind.
The more you read Henrys' poems you can see and understand how life really was. Even tho he was a city boy and considering he was deaf he leaves nothing out... He depicts outback Australian life the way it was.
