Natures Way

 To tribulations of mankind
Dame Nature is indifferent;
To human sorrow she is blind,
And deaf to human discontent.

Mid fear and fratricidal fray,
Mid woe and tyranny of toil,
She goes her unregarding way
 Of sky and sun and soil.
 

In leaf and blade, in bud and bloom
Exultantly her gladness glows,
And careless of Man's dreary doom
Around the palm she wreathes the rose;
Creating beauty everywhere,
With happy bird in holy song .
 .
 .

Please God, let us be unaware
 Like her of wrath and wrong.


Let us too be indifferent,
And in her hands our fate resign;
Aye, though the world with rage is rent
Let us be placid as the pine.

For if we turn from greed and guile
Maybe Dame Nature will relent,
And bless us with her lovely smile
 Of comfort and content.
