Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs From the Southern Seas: And Other Poems It may be well to say in the opening of this book that many of the scenes therein shown are taken from a land blessed by God and blighted by man, - a Penal Colony. Western Australia, the poorest and the loveliest of all the Australias, has received from the mother country only her shame and her crime. I cannot write excuses for the many faults and crudities in this first book: if nobody else can prize the volume, I myself can. Not for its literary worth, indeed; but for many hours of pleasure which its composition has given to me. Whatever merit it may be denied, it must certainly possess that, if merit it be, of realism. Many of the scenes shown are memories, for imaginings, - things which clamored for recognition, and I have written them here.

Excerpt: ...and year by year That bundle of skins is growing. 'Tis clear That the Lord out of evil some good still takes; For he 's clearing this bush of the Dukite snakes. THE MONSTEE DIAMOND. Each virtuous act is a kernel sown That will grow to a goodly tree Shedding Us fruit when time has flown Down the gulf of eternity. THE MONSTER DIAMOND: A TALE OF THE PENAL COLONY OP WEST AUSTRALIA, 9LL have it, I tell you! Curse you!--there! '9 The long knife glittered, was sheathed, and was bare. The sawyer staggered and tripped and fell, And falling he uttered a frightened yell: His face to the sky, he shuddered and gasped, And tried to put from him the man he had grasped A moment before in the terrible strife. "I '11 have it, I tell you, or have your life! Where is it? 5? The sawyer grew weak, but still His brown face gleamed with a desperate will. "Where is it?" he heard, and the red knife's drip In his slayer's hand fell down on his lip. "Will you give it?" "Never!55 A curse, the knife Was raised and buried. Thus closed the life Of Samuel Jones, known as " Number Ten" On his Ticket-of-Leave; and of all the men In the Western Colony, bond or free, None had manlier heart or hand than he In digging a sawpit, while all alone, --For his mate was sleeping, --Sam struck a stone With the edge of the spade, and it gleamed like fire, And looked at Sam from its bed in the mire. Till he dropped, the spade and stooped and raised The wonderful stone that glittered and blazed As if it were mad at the spade's rude blow; But its blaze set the sawyer's heart aglow As he looked and trembled, then turned him round, And crept from the pit, and lay on the ground. Looking over the mould-heap at the camp Where his mate still slept. Then down to the swamp He ran with the stone, ...

Book excerpt: John Boyle O'Reilly (28 June 1844 - 10 August 1890) was an Irish poet, journalist, author and activist. As a youth in Ireland, he was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, or Fenians, for which he was transported to Western Australia. After escaping to the United States, he became a prominent spokesperson for the Irish community and culture, through his editorship of the Boston newspaper The Pilot, his prolific writing, and his lecture tours. Born in Dowth, O'Reilly moved to his aunt's residence in England as a teenager and became involved in journalism and shortly after became involved in the military, he however left the military in 1863 after becoming angry with the military's treatment of the Irish, he returned to Ireland the same year. In 1864 he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood under an assumed name and was part of the group for 2 years until he and many others were arrested by authorities in early 1866.After a mock trial the same year he was sentenced to death which was later commuted to 20 years penal servitude. In 1867 O'Reilly was transported to Western Australia and moved to the town of Bunbury where he escaped 2 years later. After the escape O'Reilly moved to Boston he embarked on a successful writing and journalism career that produced works such as Moondyne and Songs from the Southern Seas (1873) and poems such as The Cry of the Dreamer, The White Rose and In Bohemia. He married Mary Murphy in 1872 and had 4 daughters. In the last 4 years of his life he suffered various health issues before dying of an overdose in his summer home in Hull in 1890. O'Reilly revealed a peaceful attitude (contrary to his attitude while in Ireland) and wit in his poetry. O'Reilly was a household and controversial figure in the United States through his political and civil rights activism. He lived in Charlestown from 1870 to the late 1880s, where his activism for the rights of black people was both praised and criticised. O'Reilly's literature and work with civil rights have been celebrated throughout the years. 1844-1861: Early years[edit] O'Reilly was born on 28 June 1844, at Dowth Castle to William David O'Reilly (1808-1871) and Eliza O'Reilly (nee Boyle) (1815-1869)[1] near Drogheda. His father was a headmaster. He was the third child out of six. Ireland was at that time a part of the United Kingdom, and many Irish people bitterly resented British rule. There was a strong nationalist movement. O'Reilly's relatively wealthy family was fiercely patriotic; his mother was closely related to John Allen, who had played an important role in Robert Emmet's rising in 1803. The son of a schoolmaster, O'Reilly received a good early education. When he was about thirteen, his older brother contracted tuberculosis, and O'Reilly took his place as apprentice at a local newspaper. At the age of fifteen, he moved to Preston, Lancashire to live with his aunt and uncle, and took up work on a local newspaper. In June 1861, O'Reilly enrolled in the 11th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, with which he received some military training. on returning to Ireland in 1863, he enlisted with the 10th Hussars in Dublin. 1864-1867: Irish Republican Brotherhood and arrestIn 1864, O'Reilly joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood, then commonly known as the "Fenians," a secret society of rebels dedicated to an armed uprising against British rule. He turned his energies to recruiting more Fenians within his regiment, bringing in up to 80 new members. In February 1866 O'Reilly along with many other Fenians were arrested and sent to Arbor Hill military prison......
