The Pleasant Sounds Of Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

The pleasant sounds of Nature are everywhere near me
On the sunlit beach at morning the lapping of the sea
And in the quiet Parkland the song of the pee wee
And the wattlebirds are calling on the flowering banksia tree,
The cooing of the spotted neck dove familiar one might say
In parkland and in backyards one hear them every day
The wild cry of a fox at night compared to a dog quite shrill
Out hunting or calling for a mate upon the moonlit hill,
The familiar call of the boobook owl as he hunts in the moonlight
And the soft whistle of the wombat in the stillness of the night
And one of Nature's finest songsters one never could mistake
The blackbird always sings his finest in the faint light of daybreak,
The familiar sounds of Nature are everywhere and near
Compared to man made noises so pleasant for to hear
