In Koroit Today

The sun behind gray clouds is hidden away
Though in the freshening wind from a paddock nearby wafts the sweet scent of hay
November weatherwise can be changeable as old timers do say
But the songbirds are singing in Koroit today
The distinctive flute like warbling of the magpies quite pleasant to hear
The birds who sing in all weather and every day of the year
And from where i am standing on wattle trees near
The songs of the blackbirds melodious and clear
In November in south west Victoria the parks and paddocks look so green
And wildflowers of many colours in abundance to be seen
A forecast high for the day of a cool sixteen degrees
Yet the sweet scent of hay in the freshening breeze
And the gardens in bloom and the songbirds do sing
On a cool enough day in Koroit in the Spring.
