My Country

- Dorothea MacKellar

The love of field and coppice, of green and shaded lanes,

Of ordered woods and gardens is running in your veins.

Strong love of grey-blue distance, brown streams and soft, dim skies

I know but cannot share it, my love is otherwise.

I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains,

Of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.

I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea,

Her beauty and her terror- the wide brown land for me!

The stark white ring-barked forests, all tragic to the moon,

The sapphire-misted mountains, the hot gold hush of noon,

Green tangle of the brushes where lithe lia nas coil,

And orchids deck the tree-tops, and ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky,

When, sick at heart, around us: we see the cattle die -

But then the grey clouds gather, and we can bless again

The drumming of an army, the steady soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold,

For flood and fire and famine she pays us back threefold.

Over the thirsty paddocks, watch, after many days,

The filmy veil of greenness that thickens as we gaze.

An opal-hearted country, a wilful, lavish land -

All you who have not loved her, you will not understand -

Though earth holds many splendours, wherever I may die,

I know to what brown country my homing thoughts will fly.
