Will That Music Sing Sweetly To Us Forever

Will That Music Sing Sweetly To Us Forever


Out there comes music from the emerald hills,
  Where rabbits, foxes and wildcats roam,
And great scenic views that a sad heart thrills
  When seeking Nature far from sweet home
Summer morns the forest sings to be so alive
  And meadow flowers dance as they are blown
Busy bees go about making honey for the hive
  While snakes crawl through the brush overgrown

Will that music sing sweetly to us forever,
  Or fall to cutting axe with a sharp blade,
God forbid! Pray we that comes true never!
  As our hearts find the beauty Nature hath made!
