A day of nature

The sun rises over mountains fair
To kiss the peach tinged sky,
It welcomes the day with open arms
And sings the song of life.

The rainbow flows above the sea
To whisper secrets blue,
It cries a thousand, million tears
To show that love is true.

The amber land that all do see
Provides life blood to the trees,
And when the moon moves to the sky
It bathes the land in silvery beams.

For this is nature far and true
This strange old world, and through and through,
The birds, the planets, the ocean blue
Play and sing and welcome you.
