I Am Learning Of Nature

I am of the fields where the rushes in clusters do grow
Home of the badger the rook and the silver backed crow
Where the white river Finnow To the Blackwater winds it's way slow
As on towards Drishane with a soft babble it does flow
Where i grew to love Nature when i was a young boy
And learning of her ways today i do enjoy
We learn as we live as the wise one does say
And of Nature i learn something new every day
Far south of Millstreet Town where i went to primary school
In this coastal countryside by the City of Warrnambool
Home to corella, echidna, koala and gray kangaroo
And the big dark brown parrot known as yellow tailed black cockatoo
Thousands of kilometers by sky from the waterways of the brown trout
I am learning of Nature in this Land of the south.
