In Nature Grand In winter harsh and winter dark Comes golden light on golden barkâ A silent, subtle symphony Of color in ecstasy. In spring renewed and spring refreshed Fall small petals on a small nestâ A wilted, withered agony From feathers to destiny. In summer heat and summer light Rain waters swift as watersâ flightâ A bursting, blasting great geyser Of power, like an amber fire. In autumn cool and autumn brisk Sprout flowersâ joy from flowersâ friskâ A swaying, twirling ballroom dance On windsâ gentle, tender expanse. In nature full and nature grand Grow trees and plants across the land, With light and water on the ground, As the four seasons abound.
