I Love The Countryside

I love the countryside bordering the rural town And the warbling of the magpies just after sundown And the cawings of the dark little ravens on the tall headland trees Their sharp calling carrying in the freshening breeze My wonderment of Nature only seems to grow Though so little of her ways i can claim of to know Of her we do learn something new every day In Nature as in life it is always this way Her secrets are many and her wonders not few And every day of her we learn something new The Beauty in Nature to view it is free One of the few things in life we need not pay for to see In the twilight the magpies larks are singing their familiar pee wee Where Earthly Utopia is not far from me.
