THE FLYING MOUSE (NEW SOUTH WALES -- MOONLIGHT), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The eucalyptus-blooms are sweet
Last Line: Flits bat-like where the white gums rise.
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Australia; Birds; Eucalyptus Trees


The eucalyptus-blooms are sweet
With honey, and the birds all day
Sip the clear juices forth: brown-grey,
A bird-like thing with tiny feet
Cleaves to the boughs, or with small wings
Amidst the leafy spaces springs,
And in the moonshine with shrill cries
Flits bat-like where the white gums rise.
