The Moon Over Yangery Poem by Francis Duggan

As a boobook owl calls in the calm of the night
The moon over Yangery a beautiful sight
And the birds who do sing on all Seasons of the year
The warbling of the magpies so pleasant to hear
The sounds of the night so uplifting in the pale moonlight
The masked lapwing call above his territory whilst in flight
The nocturnal sounds of the night creatures to listen to quite a beautiful thing
On an evening in late August less than two weeks from the Spring
A creature not often seen out by day
A shrill cry of the night a fox out hunting for prey
The lowing of cattle in a paddock nearby
Their voices re echo in the calm starry sky
The moon over Yangery a beautiful sight
On a calm and starry August winter's night.
