As the outback of the big country he travelled up and down
In his twelve years in Australia he became a writer of note
And his fame lives today as a talented poet
William Henry Ogilive returned to Scotland in his physical prime
In the early twentieth century this is going back in time
Where he continued writing his memorable poetry that people enjoy reading today
That good poetry long outlives it's writer does seem true to say
Due to his book of poems published in Australia 'Fair Women And Gray Horses' he became a great literary name
As a best selling book of poetry it assured him of literary fame
Ogilive was one who with words had a way
In his time with the popularising of poetry his own part he did play
His poems have withstood the literary time test
Among the poets of his lifetime William Heny Ogilive was one of the best
In his Homeland of Scotland he lived out his life span
As well as a poet he was a remarkable man.
