A pleasant though windy evening in early Summer <br />And the roses in the breezes nod and sway <br />I feel grateful for such a pleasant evening <br />It was so warm and humid yesterday. <br /> <br />That's what I like about December weather <br />It can be warm for a week or more <br />Today we had a pleasant high of twenty <br />And yesterday a humid thirty four. <br /> <br />In the warm sunshine of yesterday the birds were singing <br />The blackbird whistled on the wattle tree <br />They seem to know when the cool change is coming <br />There's more to Nature than the eyes can see. <br /> <br />I love these cool evenings of December <br />The gardens looking greener after rain <br />The Summer showers to say the least refreshing <br />And the currawong is singing once again. <br /> <br />A cool and windy evening in December <br />It makes a welcome respite from the heat <br />And the white backed magpie flutes his very finest <br />On the messmate in the park just off of the street.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-love-these-cool-evenings/
