In Koroit Poem by Francis Duggan

The sun it is shining in the sky blue and gray
And in the park playground children laugh as they play
In late September the prime of Spring not far away
And the blackbirds are singing in Koroit today
After the recent rain the parks and paddocks quite green
And Nature at her finest is to be seen
A weather forecast high for the day of a pleasant eighteen degrees
And the songs of the birds carrying in the freshening breeze
That blow through the park from the ocean shore
In near perfect weather who could ask for more
The sun it is shining without one sign of rain
With such pleasant weather how could one complain
And Earthly Utopia cannot be far away
From where the blackbirds are singing in Koroit today.
