Give Me Nature

Once I saw a pretty bird Singing sweetly songs I heard Pleasant-looking in a tree My heart it filled with so much glee. All around fine flowers grew Bright beneath the sky so blue There was beauty in the eye I didn’t wish to say goodbye. The sun in gold was going home Grand like Caesar in old Rome Whilst around they all played Perky children God had made. Far from nature it’s quite sad Give me nature— and I’m glad.
