It is a poem by Peter Cape to which Phil Garland set a tune. I believe it is in Phil's songbook 'The Singing Kiwi' which presumably has music:

'The Singing Kiwi'

Mudcatter Uke indicated in another thread that he has a copy of this book. Send him/her a PM.

Alternatively, you could contact Phil directly. I contacted him recently re another matter and he was most obliging:
