VAGRANT VERSE
• THE OLD WOMAN’S SONG. (Written for the Southland Times.) The old woman sings, her voice sad and high like lorn sea-gull on windy sky. The song she sings—poof words, broken tuneare but an echo wasted soon. Nobody knows, nor has heard the end of her poor song—her only friend. Some winter day, when passing near, I will feel the silence here. —Shaun O’Sullivan. Invercargill, November 20, 1928.
