Starry, Frances Webb's work may be under copyright. If it is, you will need to get a copy of a book, magazine, or journal which contains the poem. Talk to a
librarian about this. If you live in a large city, go to the public library, or go to the nearest college/university library and inquire about it there.

Here is Dawe's poem:

If for some reason you cannot subscribe to the Australian literary links site, ask your instructor for help with locating a copy of the poems.

In 1991 Angus & Robertson (a division of Harper Collins) published 'Cap & Bells: the Poetry of Francis Webb', in their Modern Poets series. You should be able to find that in any Australian state library or university with a decent English Department. 'Death at Winson Green' is at pages 159-160.

I believe the copyright was then still vested in Webb's three sisters, Claudia Snell, Mavis Webb-Wagg and Leonie Meere, as beneficiaries under his Will (he died in 1973), and that enquiries about permission were to be directed to the Snell family property at Bathurst NSW, phone 02 6337 7768.
