Drummer Hodge Lyrics by John Joubert

South of the Line, Op. 109

0

They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
Uncoffined - just as found:
His landmark is a kopje-crest
That breaks the veldt around;
And foreign constellations west
Each night above his mound
Young Hodge the Drummer never knew -
Fresh from his Wessex home -
The meaning of the broad Karoo
The Bush, the dusty loam
And why uprose to nightly view
Strange stars amid the gloam
Yet portion of that unknown plain
Will Hodge for ever be;
His homely Northern breast and brain
Grow to some Southern tree
And strange-eyed constellations reign
His stars eternally
