Illowa

In Illowa of the Moyne Shire it is a pleasant November day A freshening breeze blowing uphill from nearby Gorman's Bay The countryside lush and green after recent Spring rain With such beautiful weather few would wish to complain Cattle on nutritious young grass chewing their cuds do lay Looking content and healthy gaining weight by the day The sun is glowing warm in sky of blue and gray And wafting in the coastal breeze the scent of grass mowed for hay The distinctive warbling of the magpies the birds who sing all through the year And the melodious songs of the blackbirds so pleasant for to hear With the sun on their dark wings the hunters of the sky In pursuit of flying insects the welcome swallows fly And the beauty in the wild growing flowers one only can admire In Illowa in November in the coastal Moyne Shire.
