O ! blessed Nature Mother !
Thou art the sum and substance
Of truth, purity, benevolence;
Thou art the divine balm
That consoles the pining man;
Manna, the essence thou art
That enriches man in all his art
Science and his literary pursuits
Which infuses in him the virtues
Of morality, honesty and love
As well as his thoughts of the above

Who can wink at your glory
Or mince words in your story !
Though mysterious wonderful,
And frightening at times thou art.
Let me enjoy the unique charm
That thou hast hidden warm.
