Alan Marshall

But if I had done these things I would never have been able to preserve an equality with them

would always have been an onlooker

Don’t be frightened now; don’t be frightened now; don’t be frightened now

voice within me kept on and I recovered myself

liked these men because they never pitied me

They gave me confidence

only in this way could I earn the respect given by children to those who excelled at games

None of the boys at the school could swim nor could any of the men I knew in Turalla

You blokes are never satisfied

they saw brighter things ahead of me
