A June Day In South West Victoria

It is a cool showery and windy Winter's June day
But the magpies are singing in the park by the bay
The black and white songsters with a song quite beautiful to hear
The birds who do sing every day of the year
In mid June at least ten weeks from the calendar Spring
When the golden bill blackbird at daybreak will sing
In the gray of the afternoon the magpie larks singing pee wee
Black and white mud nest building birds familiar to many and to me
For Winter in south west Victoria the weather not cold
The wattle trees sprouting their fluffy looking blooms of rich yellow to gold
In a few weeks from now they will be laden with flowers
As a thing of great beauty in the cool Winter showers
The songs of the dark currawongs tell rain is near
Though the weather is not cold for the time of year.
