Eucalyptus deglupta, the rainbow gum. I have my smartarse hat on
We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.

Eucalyptus deglupta, the rainbow gum. I have my smartarse hat on
Even worse, I have a eucalyptus in the garden, no excuses for me. Cannot believe that no one has posted this classic song about a classic tree:
In late childhood he had lived a year Emotionally wedded to an elm, whose leaves Crumbling in his pockets evoked rough And bitter the warm bark; then a small creek Had filled one summer with the breathing air Of willows and brown water; by such loving He cast off abounding, more exacting dreams, And baffled others less than he would think
(second verse pf 'The Lover' by Fleur Adcock, the other three verses are all about landscape too)
