Bowen writes of personal sorrows, early deaths of offspring and of his first wife, and public celebrations, hymns for the opening of Sabbath School building; of the Russian war and its implications for the Australian colonies; of Gold rushes; all recounted in terms of his religious convictions; a sequence of eight poems written in 1854 ‘on Board the Royal Shepherdess, while on a Voyage from South Australia to England’ sees Madagascar in terms of ‘martyrs of Jesus’ and St Helena as a lesson in the limitations of temporal power.
