The Countryside Here

The Countryside here of few trees open rugged and brown
Is not like the high Wooded Countryside near Belgrave Town
Where I lived up to going on eight years ago
In the dry stony country few tall trees do grow.

So many different sorts of Landscapes in this Southern Land
All you who have not been here you would not understand
The scenery it seems to change from Shire to Shire
And the artists and writers it never fails to inspire.

For to sketch and write of it in poetry and prose
Though what's beautiful to one to another is not that's life I suppose
Some like the dry Inland country some like the lands by the sea
And some like the high woods of the mountain ash tree.

So much Natural beauty for awe to inspire
And the scenery it keeps changing from Shire to Shire
And such great natural beauty everywhere to see
In this Southern Land of varied scenery.
