Jack, you men won't understand <br> How much a girl can love. <br>I long to see his face once more -- <br> Jack's dog! thank God, it's Jack! -- <br>(I never thought I'd faint before) <br> He's coming -- up -- the track.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Henry+Lawson">Henry Lawson</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=408808" data-title="The Drover's Sweetheart de Henry Lawson" data-description="An hour before the sun goes down Behind the ragged boughs, I go across the little run And bring the dusty cows; And once I used to sit and rest Beneath the fading dome, For there was one that I loved best Who'd bring the cattle home. ..."></div> </div> </div>
