A Lovely Day In September

The nesting songbirds are singing on the sunlit bushes and trees On this warm day in September of close to thirty degrees The cows in the nearby paddock sit and chew their cuds at ease And there is a pleasant freshness in the freshening coastal breeze For the second week of the Spring a very warm day The fruit bearing trees looking beautiful in their blooms of pink and gray The poets and the artists by such beauty feel inspired Of singing Nature's praises one never could feel tired After the heavy rainfalls of late Winter the paddocks are looking green And wildflowers known to some as weeds in plenty to be seen Dragon flies out in swarms in the bright sunshine fly And the dark winged welcome swallows are chirping in the sky A lovely day in September close to thirty degrees Songbirds sing in the sunshine in the freshening coastal breeze.
