AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The poem expresses the speaker's nostalgic longing for Australia, having returned to her native Poland, which the poem characterises as her 'sad homeland', 'cried over' by the rain. The poem describes the speaker's recurring dreams of a 'hot' country, the cry of a kookaburra in her ears.
