Out There In The World Of The Wild And The Free Poem by Francis Duggan

Out there in the World of the wild and the free
The grey shrike thrush pipes on the black wattle tree
Though some other birds to look at than him seem more fair
There is so much beauty in his wildborn air,
Out there in Nature's World the white backed magpie sing
And the blackbird is whistling his song of the Spring
And in the Town Park the magpie lark pipes pee wee
His partner sits on her eggs in her nest of dried mud in a tree,
Out there in the World of the black cockatoo
And wallaby and wombat and grey kangaroo
Out there where the boobook from lamp of day hide
The beautiful Goddess of Nature preside
Over the World where she reign supreme
The God of creation to me it does seem.
