As the leaves on the eucalypts

Dance in the wind

The sound they make

Sounds like harmonious whispers

As smooth as silk

They smell as fresh as rosemary and mint

In the dawn of a new day

As beautiful as

A mighty mountain ash

The lyrebirds stride

Eating food off the forest floor

The Australian ferns

As soft as wool

As majestic as heaven

Swaying in the wind

In the dawn of a new day
