Good Sunday Morning to The Lair.

To Nature


It may indeed be phantasy, when I
Essay to draw from all created things
Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings;
And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie
Lessons of love and earnest piety.
So let it be ; and if the wide world rings
In mock of this belief, it brings
Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity.
So will I build my altar in the fields,
And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be,
And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields
Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee,
Thee only God ! and thou shalt not despise
Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice

By: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Time Of Silver Rain
 
  In time of silver rain
The earth
Puts forth new life again,
Green grasses grow
And flowers lift their heads,
And over all the plain
The wonder spreads
Of life,
Of life,
Of Life!
In time of silver rain
The butterflies
Lift silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry,
The trees put forth
New leaves to sing
In joy beneath the sky
As down the roadway
Passing boys and girls

Go singing, too,
In time of silver rain
When Spring
And life
Are new.
