I First Grew To Love Her Poem by Francis Duggan

I first grew to love her when i was a boy
The beauty of nature is a thing of joy
Her wonders are many her secrets not few
And everyday from her we learn something new
The beauty of nature we do not pay to see
It is all around you and it is all around me
One of the few things in life that does come for free
And that lives for one's lifetime in the memory
She does not have an equal than her none so great
The beauty and wonders that she does create
The goddess of land and the goddess of sea
Of flora and fauna and the wild and free
Her birds of song whistle on bush and on tree
And her beauty is everywhere all around me.
