The Eucalyptus Tree


I lay beneath your canopy admiring your silvery leaves
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
Generously protecting wildlife, providing homes and seed

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
Embracing Mother Earth connected, strong and deep
