joice nankivell*loch by margaret bradford

way back in 1880 on a cane farm in nth queensland
a great australian woman was born
until the age of thirty all she knew was grinding poverty
as from farm to useless farm she was torn
bone weary every night she’d make the time to write
with farm chores and sick creatures in her care
this hardship suffered as a youth
prepared her for the naked truth
of war*torn europe, poverty despair

this compassionate woman, joice nankivell*loch
no task was too great for her thеy say, but
ask any australian. you’ll find no one’s even hеard of her
yet in greece she’s hailed as heroine today

to write of ireland’s troubles she ventured in the twenties
but soon became involved with the ira
and impartial though she tried to be
with husband she was forced to flee
with quakers of to europe far away
here famine followed ww1 where many homeless refugees
in poland led them to volunteer
while hungry and war weary beat a path up to her door
she faced famine and disease without fear
this compassionate …..
she saw the fear in parent’s eyes, scared their kids would not survive
that memory would haunt her through the years
so many orphaned kids she saved, greek victims of the turks
but on she worked exhausted close to tears

greek mothers, hungry, desperate turned to joyce for a solution
so a rug*weaving co*operative she began
her fame as ‘lady in the tower’ spread throughout the land
there in greece where she finally made her home

this compassionate …..
