On A Beautiful Evening Poem by Francis Duggan

To feel the warmth of the sun the freckled brown trout
In the shallows of the river pool swimming about
And a golden billed blackbird on an acacia sing
On a beautiful evening in the prime of the Spring
In Nature so much beauty for to admire
And of singing her praises one never could tire
I have loved her since i was a very young boy
And learning of her ways i still do enjoy
Were i a poet to her a poem i would write
For lovers of poetry for to read and recite
Of the beauty i see in the park by the bay
That is all around me on this beautiful day
The magpie is piping high on branch of gum tree
And the dainty magpie lark is singing pee wee.
