I love woods lush green with rain,
I love liberty in nature’s chain.
Birds’ whistle captivates me,
Round the boughs I slink to see.
A laughing lad, a sweet girl,
Never make me tired and dull.
Silver cloud gently sailing,
In the blue of sunny ceiling.
Or ripples on a river’s breast,
Nestlings in a happy nest —
Myself see and call one see,
Whom I love and love that me.
Mountains high with snowy tops,
All my worries from me robs.
A ship in the far off sea,
To the unseen beckons me.
Be in nature’s soothing balm,
Pain and sadness dips in calm.
