Val Vallis: Song of the East Coast

* 01. 08. 1916 † 14. 01. 2009

Song of the East Coast

I am of the east coast country;

Not from the great cities that play Faust,

With flats for souls, but where the Queensland hills

Bite the blue skies with their emerald teeth,

And where the sun sets witches’ fires on the waterline.

Here I was born.
