'tis Not Immortal
Give thanks for a red rose
'Twill inevitably decompose
Give thanks for a sunset
That vanishes at night's onset
Give thanks for the sun's rays
Which may last a whole day
Give thanks for gentle rains
That refresh meadows and plains
Give thanks for majestic mountains
And bubbling springs' fountains
For winding rivers, for fresh streams
Which flow nightly in dreams
Nature's beauty must needs fade; 'tis not immortal
~ But not this plain simple poem, preserved on a portal
