In the forest, deep and green,
There's a world to be seen,
With ferns that reach up high,
And clovers that catch your eye.

Look closely, and you'll find,
A cork tree, one of a kind,
Whose bark is thick and tough,
And protects the tree's stuff.

The flora is so diverse,
With flowers of every verse,
From corolla to petal,
Each one is truly special.

So come and explore,
This world, full of more,
Where the ferns sway in the breeze,
And the forest sings with ease.
