Beauteous Nature

Beauteous scene of scented spring Farthest from the world of men In the sacred breath of woodland Singth therest lark and wren Shades of beeches, pines and birches With the shades of Autumn mingle As in hut a silent damsel Cooks and embers shine in ingle Cuckoos, beetles, fish and cricket Look at wondrous lake and murmur God hath sent for us a mirror In the nature holy bower Therest heaven's morn and sunset Dewy gems on earth they shower Tender wind it singth on timbral Leaves in it afloat and dance Hearst thou the flute of Shepherds By the magic hands of chance Nymphs and deities therest Rowan In the eve in afternoon Row therest in lake of woodland Lady of the haunted moon Beauteous art the hearts that ever Worship in the nature yard On the sedge on mossy velvet In the temp of Holy Lord
