Nature's Grandeur

Mother Nature's magnificent, all know:
     when spring imbues new life, year after year,
rays of gold feed the land, and the plants grow
     so that all of earth in this hemisphere,
from east to west, again vibrate and flow
     with verdant grandeur that mortal men fear.

As earliest men draw their breath in awe
     of Nature's ancient majesty and source,
from the beginning of time, as by law,
     the seasons take their predetermined course;
and, as relentless as an iron paw,
     renew the earth with life-endowing force!

So, if the handiwork of Mother Nature
     be so magnificent and grandiose,
let her then be man's benevolent teacher
     so she may instruct, enjoin, and enclose 
them as faithful stewards: and then may feature
     her fearful powers to them in cool repose.
