Glory Green

An Australian view.
Written in the summer. It's winter now so this tree will be bare.


GLORY GREEN


In other climes this Glory Green
Would be a sight quite often seen,
But, here, where gums are everywhere
And trees are hardly ever bare,
This tree stood-out as though on show,
With a brilliant phosphorescent glow.
Among the eucalypts it grew
Looking bright and fresh and new.
Oh they will last the whole year round,
And everywhere they may be found,
And, yes, their green is pleasing too,
With a gentle almost olive hue.
And, in the winter, this bright tree
Will be as stark as a tree can be!
But, for the moment, it is seen,
Rejoicing in its Glory Green.

Green, green, green here:
