The young girl stood beside me. I Saw not what her young eyes could see: – Alight, she said, not of the sky Lives some where in the Orange Tree.

About
John Shaw Neilson was an Australian poet. Slightly built, for most of his life John Shaw Neilson worked as a labourer, fruit-picking, clearing scrub, navvying and working in quarries, and, after 1928, working as a messenger with the Country Roads Board in Melbourne. Largely untrained and only basically educated, Neilson became known as one of Australia's finest lyric poets, who wrote a great deal about the natural world, and the beauty in it.
