Nature's Gift Of Rain

A few months ago the paddocks were bare and brown
In the flat countryside bordering Castlemaine Town
That was before the onset of the heavy rain
That overflowed every creek and every drain
And in the once bare paddocks young grass sprouted again
And Nature's greenery returned to Castlemaine
The last time i was here the landscape looked bare and brown
In and surrounding old Castlemaine Town
Amazing changes that a few months can bring
Nature's gift of rain is quite an amazing thing
The value of rain a thing none ought to deny
The last time i was here the creeks and drains were dry
The paddocks of Castlemaine look healthy and green
In my many visits the best i have seen.
