On Meeting A Chinese Girl Poem by Francis Duggan

In quite broken English to me she did say
Me do come from China from here far away
Me an exchange student me only nineteen
In Australia this big Land so much to be seen
Aussies are such nice people and so nice to me
And in this big Country so much beauty to see
And when I go home to China my friends I will tell
Of Australia and it's people who treated me well
A beautiful dark haired Chinese girl with warmth in her smile
So down to earth and friendly and without any guile
The weather was pleasant enough for July
And a Winter sun peeped through gray clouds in the sky
As she waved me goodbye and went on her way
Just meeting her did bring some joy to my day.
