The Filmy Veil of Greeness


The Filmy Veil of Greeness

"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 greeness
That thickens as we gaze....."


(From "My Country" by Dorothea Mackellar).
