Les Murray
When Les Murray speaks his words
The skies do seem to get brighter
When Les Murray reads his poems
The trees do rustle their leaves
Each beast his words to tame
Every person speaks his name
When Les Murray sings his song
The mountains sing with him
When Les Murray tells his dreams
The river flows all night long
Every child his words do flame
Every King his poems speak fame
When Les Murray sleeps
The world sleeps with him
Thank you to the Wheeler Centre for having Les Murray come and read his new poems
