 The melody also resonated with him and propelled him to write 
"Waltzing Matilda" While there has been much debate about what inspired the words, the song became one of his most widely known and sung ballads.In addition, he wrote the lyrics for songs with piano scores, such as "The Daylight is Dying" and "Last Week".These were also published by Angus & Robertson between the years 1895 to 1899.
