Though I do know that the currawong is not a species of crow <br />So little about Nature I feel that I do know <br />From human kind her secrets she keeps hidden away <br />But something new from Nature one learns every day <br />I always have loved Nature ever since I was a boy <br />And watching her wild creatures is a thing I do enjoy <br />And many of her songbirds I know them by their song <br />Their voices so distinctive one cannot get them wrong <br />The carolling of the skylark as upwards he does fly <br />Till he becomes so tiny a small speck in the sky <br />'Tis not for love of living or for the joys of Spring <br />But for to proclaim his borders that the tiny bird does sing <br />And though I do know that a currawong is not a breed of crow <br />Of Nature's many secrets I could never hope to know.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-nature-s-many-secrets/
