Before a wash of sky, I rest in spellbound ease
Your foliage so appeasing in shades of blue and green
Diffusing your balmy oils thus palliative and serene
Supplying me with oxygen, guarding my precious wealth
You shed your outer ribbons of bark in summer each year
Revealing a radiant surface so colourful, smooth and sheer
Fundamentally affording Koalas substantial, nourishing feed
Native flowers ooze nectar, attracting swarms of bees
Birds peck at gumnut pits, devour them easy as peas
So grounded and assured as your roots do fondly creep
