Far South Of Claraghatlea

Where i grew to love Nature as a young boy
And learning of her way today i enjoy
Claraghatlea just west of the Town of Millstreet
In the green countryside where the waterways meet

I have not seen the gray fog quietly steal it's way
Across Clara Mountain for many a day
But the memories remain of the what used to be
And in visualizations the old fields i do see

Here in the Moyne Shire in distance far south
Of the fields of the badger and the waterways of the brown trout
I am learning about Nature every day
We do learn as we live it is always this way

In the home of koala, echidna, emu, wallaby and roo
And long billed corella and yellow tailed black cockatoo
Of the birds who do sing in all Seasons of the year
The warbling songs of the magpies every day i do hear

And the magpie larks known by their song of peewee
Are birds i hear often and often do see
Far south of Claraghatlea near the Town of Millstreet
In the green countryside where the waterways meet.
