Famous Australian poet Henry Lawson

I recently visited Waverley Cemetery in New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.  I was encouraged to look further into its history. I found a famous poet named Henry Lawson the son of feminist Louisa Lawson, is buried there. He wrote "Past caring" that  tells the story of a women who gives the impression she is past caring but in the end it shows she is not. She has had a difficult and depressing life, yet, she still cares a lot and she wishes she did not.
Henry Lawson died in 1922 and he saw and understood what most people do not.
