The Moon Over Yangery

As a boobook owl calls in the calm of the night The moon over Yangery a beautiful sight And the birds who do sing on all Seasons of the year The warbling of the magpies so pleasant to hear The sounds of the night so uplifting in the pale moonlight The masked lapwing call above his territory whilst in flight The nocturnal sounds of the night creatures to listen to quite a beautiful thing On an evening in late August less than two weeks from the Spring A creature not often seen out by day A shrill cry of the night a fox out hunting for prey The lowing of cattle in a paddock nearby Their voices re echo in the calm starry sky The moon over Yangery a beautiful sight On a calm and starry August winter's night.
