In Pursuit Of Flying Insects Poem by Francis Duggan

In pursuit of flying insects in the sunny sky
The dark welcome swallows does chirp as they fly
With young to feed in shed rafters nearby in cup shaped nest
From flying little time for their wings to rest

Chewing their cuds in the shade of the trees the black cattle lay
In Yangery on this sunny October day
With warmth in the sunshine and the coastal breeze
On a weather temperature high for the day of twenty five degrees

With the warm days of Summer to the coastal lands near
It is warm today even for the time of year
The magpies are warbling melodious and clear
Their beautiful songs always pleasant to hear

Where the Seasons first white butterflies are to be seen
The coastal lands are looking so lush and so green
The sun shining bright in a sky blue and gray
In Yangery it is a beautiful day.
