The Sun Out And Shining Though The Sky

The sun out and shining though the sky of gray rain clouds not clear And in the still morning air the bleating of sheep i hear On the Warrnambool Penshurst road near old Koroit Town Cars and trucks on the roadway buzzing up and down Such natural green beauty stretching far and wide In early September in the Moyne countryside In lush paddocks contented cattle chewing their cuds do lay On nutritious young grass gaining weight by the day Everywhere one turns to look there is beauty to see Pink blossoms adorning every fruit bearing tree Such natural beauty the artists and writers inspire Of singing Nature's praises could one ever tire The songs of the blackbirds so pleasant to hear And the birds who do sing every day of the year The silver billed magpies proclaim territory Birds who defend their borders quite aggressively In early September the first month of the southern Spring The gray shrike thrush has his beautiful flute like song to sing And the dainty black and white magpie lark calls out pee wee Where the beauty of Nature is all around me.
