Mountain peak! Starry night!
Constellations! Aurora bright!
Yea! Nature's perfect compliment,
One great teacher, our parliament,
Nature entreats our every sense,
Slick salamander, sweet red rose scents,
Spring's mystic unfolding leaf! Butterfly magic chrysalis!
Nature's goodness! Marvel! Never amiss!
So artful! Yet she leaves us wond'ring,
As we breathe, such pondering,
Awesome nature! Her astounding might!
Man's earthly mistress, taking flight!
