 lesson doth natures own eloquence
 teach.
 The bee on the blossom, the bird in the
 spray,
 The brook as it sparkles, sing sweetly
 this lay.
 The shower and the sunshine, together
 doth fall,
 Have blessing and sweetness and glad
 ness for all
 Thus read we this lesson aright as we
 should,
 Live not for self only, but live to do
 good.
