Henry Lawson - O Cupid, Cupid; Get Your Bow!Henry Lawson - O Cupid, Cupid; Get Your Bow!
Work rating: Low


ARMING down along the stream,     Along the sparkling water, And past the pool where lilies gleam,     There comes the squatter’s daughter. Her eyes are kind; her lips are warm;     And like a flower her face is; The habit shows her bonny form     As graceful as a Grace’s. O I’ll be mad of love, I know;     My head she’ll surely addle; O Cupid, Cupid; get your bow;     And shoot her from the saddle! For, like a bird on breezes waft,     She quickly, quickly passes; O Cupid, Cupid, draw your shaft;     And bring her to the grasses! O she is worthy game for you;     And there is none to match her. So, Cupid, send your arrow true;     And I’ll be there to catch her!
