Popular Verses is a series of humorous poems by Henry Lawson. Lawson was an Australian writer and bush poet. Excerpt: "And the dreary cloud-line never veiled the end of one day more,
But the city set in jewels rose before me from 'The Shore.'
Round the sea-world shine the beacons of a thousand ports o' call,
But the harbour-lights of Sydney are the grandest of them all!"
