I Love These Cool Evenings

A pleasant though windy evening in early Summer And the roses in the breezes nod and sway I feel grateful for such a pleasant evening It was so warm and humid yesterday. That's what I like about December weather It can be warm for a week or more Today we had a pleasant high of twenty And yesterday a humid thirty four. In the warm sunshine of yesterday the birds were singing The blackbird whistled on the wattle tree They seem to know when the cool change is coming There's more to Nature than the eyes can see. I love these cool evenings of December The gardens looking greener after rain The Summer showers to say the least refreshing And the currawong is singing once again. A cool and windy evening in December It makes a welcome respite from the heat And the white backed magpie flutes his very finest On the messmate in the park just off of the street.
