The Voice of Nature The voice of nature speaks to me In many places that I see. I hear her in the ocean's roar And pounding surf along the shore. Within the winds, both light and strong. Each sings a special kind of song. The trees that rustle overhead, Repeating things that nature said. She speaks at times most quietly. Who cannot hear her when you see The silvery beauty of the night Beneath a winter's moon, so bright! In flaming sky of dusk or morn A thousand melodies are born. In songs of birds, she surely gives Enchantment to each soul that lives And midnight skies, with stars a-blaze, Sing symphonies to all who gaze. In every field and flower face, In every stream where waters race. In clouds that drift or mass on high. In every wild and haunted cry From out the woods, that rends the dark And in each tree, whose weathered bark Weeps tears of sap, that meet and flow To crystallize on roots below. Out where the mountains fill the skies With rugged grandeur, there she cries In voice of eagle, spiralling On rising air, with widespread wing. In thunderstorms or falling snow And rain or river, there I know That every sound upon my ear Is nature speaking and I hear Her voice in everything around, That flies in air or walks the ground. For all of life, somehow takes part In music spawned in nature's heart. A universal symphony, That fills our lives with poetry!
