The bush was grey a week today
Olive green and brown and grey,
But now the Spring has come this way
With blossoms for the wattle,

It seems to be a fairy tree
It dances to a melody,
and sings a little song to me,
the graceful swaying wattle.

Composition:

    Set to music by Frank Bridge (1879 - 1941), "The graceful swaying wattle", published c1916 [ chorus ], partsong
