What Nature Gives Us Each Day
What Nature Gives Us Each Day
What Nature gives us each day
Beauty wrapped in glowing green
Not joy simply tossed away
Duty ours, to love each scene
Those tree shadows at high noon
Resting under such wide shade
Rose loving effect found soon
Blessings are thus Nature made
What spirit can not there find
Night and its stars do bequeath
Got the heart and gentle mind
Right here,living underneath
What life can with eyes thus find
Scenes gifting beauty in kind
