IN THE SPRING WOODS.

IN The SPRlNG WOODS.
If you would seek quiet nook,
Away from human nature,
Yet awake in every thrill and treble
With every tiny creature;
Go listen to the quiet brook
That winding through the trees,
All unaware Of human presence.
Not even your reflection sees.
Go walk along the woodland lane,
And hear the buebrd singing.
See the modest violet turn
As if she heard you murmurng
In quiet tones her name
See the woodbne creeping low
AS if she could not venture higher
In fear Of friend or foe.
Stop. listen to the robins call.
And for moment stop to bless
All the beauty born in nature
Cared by the hand of God for us.
Yes. He has cared for one and all.
You and as well
AS many poets in years gone by
Have ever loved to tell.
But in the quiet woods today,
You cannot help but feel
How surely life is worth the living
And that all this world is real
Though you may have your time to play;
No you can ne'er forget
That with all the other world at work
Neither have you time to fret.
Then take a lesson from the woods,
In all its early splendor;
And see how many things there are
That YOU can help to render
For all in life some good
The sun may set in clouds of rain.
But cast your eyes shove and say
have not lived this day in vain.
