In Koroit Town Today Poem by Francis Duggan

Their ancestors brought here from Lands far away
The goldfinches singing in Koroit today
There is no mistaking their twittering song
Once seen and once heard one cannot get them wrong
So distinctive in their looks and in the songs they do sing
In Koroit in south western Victoria in the prime of the Spring
How pleasant to hear the male goldfinches sing
On this the twelfth of October a warm and sunny day
A freshening breeze from the south a sign that rain may not be far away
From Koroit in the Moyne Shire a historical old Town
It's strong links to old cultures one of it's claims to renown
In the sunny sky mostly blue just a few clouds of gray
And the goldfinches are singing in Koroit Town today.
