A July Day In Port Fairy

The sun intermittently shines in the sky blue and gray
But in Port Fairy it is cold, wet and windy today
Yesterday for Winter it was warm and dry
The weather changes quickly in the southern July
On a windblown wattle a white backed magpie sing
His kind sing at night from mid Winter to Mid Spring
The flute like warbling song quite melodious and clear
Of these birds who do sing every day of the year
How strong and loud the cold blustery Winter winds do blow
Where the Moyne River near Griffith Island to the Pacific flow
On a wet and windy afternoon of a cool five degrees
With the calls of the magpie larks carrying in the breeze
In July the weather changes from day to day
In south western Victoria it is always this way.
