The Sun Out And Shining

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.
