 </div><blockquote><p><em>(For the extinct human group: Tasmania Aborigenes)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I heard the geckos sing – a fairy tale<br>
As they traverse the walls of forgotten memories:<br>
Love has forgotten you, O Tasmania<br>
For you have outgrown nature<br>
This was you, Tasmania:<br>
Flower of the sun-rising – blossom inits youthful age<br>
Little periwinkle wading through the Oceans turbulence<br>
Virgin land rejoicing in an hopeful harvest<br>
Bride awaiting her groom, Lily of the valley<br>
Tasmania, you were that melodious song on the tongues of heaven<br>
The flower in the shadowy garden<br>
You were the music in our heart, the song on our lips<br>
Your cities were happy bustling villages, your feild – the envy<br>
Of nations<br>
How you are forgotten, Tasmania<br>
A withered stem you have being<br>
A juvenile salmon swept to the shore by the ocean current<br>
Sing me Tasmania – a fairy tale<br>
Carried on the tongues of geckos<br>
As they traverse these walls of forgotten memories<br>
O eagrets that fly the eternity airways<br>
These songs on your beaks are bitter<br>
That there was once, a people: Tasmania<br>
But I, have inscribed you on the plains of mine heart<br>
Tasmania…</p>
