You and I

Nature’s bright in all its beauty, With its feathers and its gills, From a cricket’s happy chirping, To a pork’s rough quills. From a neatly woven nest, To the blinking of an eye, Without nature we wouldn’t be here, You and I. Nature’s bright in all its beauty, With its paws and all its skills, From the gentle stream’s lip-lapping duty, To the slow blink-blinking of stars on distant hills. From a fish’s glitter gills, To the slow darkening sky, Without nature we wouldn’t be here sleeping, You and I.
