Mother Nature + 

Beautiful mother is busy all day, + 

So busy she neither can sing nor say; + 

But lovely thoughts, in a ceaseless flow, + 

Through her eyes, and her ears, and her bosom go⁠— + 

Motion, sight, and sound, and scent, + 

Weaving a royal, rich content. + 

When night is come, and her children sleep, + 

Beautiful mother her watch doth keep; + 

With glowing stars in her dusky hair + 

Down she sits to her music rare; + 

And her instrument that never fails, + 

Is the hearts and the throats of her nightingales. + 
