The Southern Winter Solstice Poem by Francis Duggan
The Southern Winter Solstice
In the sunny blue sky just a few clouds of gray
On June the twenty first the southern year's shortest day
For the southern Winter solstice a forecast high of fifteen degrees
A pleasant day out of doors of scarcely any breeze
A magpie lark in the green paddock is calling pee wee
And a magpie is warbling on a sunlit gum tree
Such beautiful weather for the time of year
To Earthly Utopia this place has to be near
Brown storm-water flowing in the roadside drain
And the tiny frogs singing for to tell us of rain
But for the southern Winter Solstice the weather sunny and clear
And with every new dawn the calendar Spring draws near
And a voice once heard one never again does get wrong
The gray shrike thrush is whistling his beautiful song.
Greeting Dawn Sunrise In Paradise Praise night darkness shadows passing blessed to be up early to enjoy the delight of birds greeting dawn sunrise in paradise praise Copyright © Terence George Craddock Inspired by the poem 'The Southern Winter Solstice' by the poet Francis Duggan.

bird song is always beautiful adorable chimes or thrilling haunting calls for those of us who love birds, and oh the joy of the dawn chorus for those of us in the bush lucky enough to be up early to enjoy the delight of birds greeting the dawn
