Eucalyptus Rain

have you heard the sound
the songs of my childhood
rain on the leaves
whispers of the eucalyptus tree
one my grandfather planted
in the front garden
it was a jungle but tidy
could have been the garden of eden
it didn't have an apple
nary a snake
or is it that children's eyes
don't see either?
