Said Grenfell to My Spirit by Henry Lawson, 1911

Said Grenfell to my spirit, "You've been writing very free
Of the charms of other places, and you don't remember me.
You have claimed another native place and think it's Nature's law,
Since you never paid a visit to a town you never saw:
So you sing of Mudgee Mountains, willowed stream and grassy flat:
But I put a charm upon you — and you won't get over that."

Cant Get Over That My name bestowed upon me, is not me! It's my parents' label. A wrist band immutable.
