MY COUNTRY - Dorothea Mackellar - Poem




The Love Of Field & Coppice, 
Of Green And Shaded Lanes 
Of Ordered Woods And Gardens
Is Running In Your Veins 
Strong Love Of Grey-Blue Distance
Brown Streams & Soft Dim Skies
I Know But Cannot Share It
My Love Is Otherwise 






I Love A Sunburnt Country
A Land Of Sweeping Plains
Of Ragged Mountain Ranges 
Of Droughts And Flooding Rains
I Love Her Far Horizons
I Love Her Jewel-Sea
Her Beauty And Her Terror
