Heels 1974

Sleeping out on the Tops

Sleeping out on the Tops

I love to lie the nights alone
Sheltered high in tussock knots
To view the valley black below
Drowsed in tussock incense.

A cloud of drizzle rising,
Patters fresh the leafy roof above,
And soon I hear the quiet dripping of the forest.
I listen in my wandering thoughts
And catch the single bellbird's note
Softly piped and faintly melancholy
As the rain.

G.S.
